Great stuff happening in the latest @glyphsapp.com release! Also, I love how entertaining the release notes are 😂, so many little gems like "...And if you understood what this means, you are probably that guy who created and sent us that edge case in the first place." glyphsapp.com/news/glyphs-...

I feel like this chart applies to discourse about most things (not just limited to discussions around AI)—it’s a good reminder to think about how you are discussing things with folks around you.
The way we’re talking about AI in design is kinda crazy-cuckoo-nutsack-bananas. It’s leaving folks anxious, excluded, exhausted.
So, I wrote a piece to name the patterns — and offer something healthier in return.

New look! This name change is coinciding with the foundry’s 5th birthday and to celebrate, I thought I would confuse everyone about my identity (I joke, I joke). Moving forward, we will be called Arcane Type Foundry and we believe fonts are magic!

Been making a lot of melty beads (or fuse beads, perler beads, Hama beads). I am getting better at ironing them evenly 😅

Sometimes other people make cool things and I wonder why I didn’t make a similar cool thing that I had an idea for but haven’t got around to it yet. Then I realize they are a team of 12 people and I am just me.
Wish I could do that “mirror image” spell and my copies could all work for me.

Canadian Type Designers and Foundries
With all the drama happening south of the border, my Canadian friends have been consciously trying to buy more Canadian products and I thought, maybe that should go for our typefaces too!?

In my typography class this week, I play-tested a little combining type game where I made them all “become” a typeface and speed-date each other to find a good match. It was a blast.

A very special font release! It's a handwriting font based on my Grandfather's writing from 1955, when he was writing love letters to my Nana. My grandfather recently turned 99, and I wanted to celebrate by making this font for him, but it's so pretty not to share, so it's available on my site now!
