The licensing scheme #Monotype is running must be really bad.

This still sounds rather mechanical. To make a point agains AI art, I sat down and gave this an hour of my creative time. Thanks for holding my beer! 🍺

Seen this before, probably brought to attention by @npub1v78…9ps0 … it’s insane! 🚋

Y’all remember that tread on hexadecimal color number plates?
Probably back on #TypeTwitter. Who found it, @npub1tmy…fmeh?
Now there is a #podcast on #Hex color codes on number plates.
I’m also really happy that Alex Goldman is back!

This week I learned about MT-Shift, a #VariableFont that is able to shift from one letter into another. Every combination, even letter to emoji or letter to pattern is possible.
It is created by the design student Simon Tuffer @npub1n24…8tjc from Bern and really well documented on https://motiontype.xyz 👏👏👏

#TIL that the first inventor of a pre phonograph, called the phonautograph, was also a typesetter and book seller.

Today we will present the website @npub1e4r…xum4 at #Symbol24 13:50 CET.
We hid a little bombshell in the presentation for the Emoji researchers. 💣😱
While the consensus is, that Shigetaka Kurita invented Emoji while working at NTT DoCoMo in 1999, that also granted him a place in the #MoMa, Matt Stephton @npub1wem…9n2p found full sets of emojis in Japanese organizers, dating back to 1988.
