Please welcome the newest addition to the Mass-Driver catalogue, MD System Mono!
Designed by @lukecharsley and available today in 10 styles.
System Mono is the monospaced counterpart to our flagship workhorse grotesque, sharing the same vertical metrics as the proportional family — and the same slightly rotated contrast that gives the typeface its warm, analogue character.
Signs of the times: three graphic design tours of Zürich.
Zürich is a profoundly visual city and its tradition of graphic design goes back hundreds of years, from the colourful signs of the medieval guildhalls to old shopfronts and sophisticated contemporary design.
Staff pick:
The Future Tense is a sound installation by artist Russell Perkins, presented in Romainville, France. The book about it was designed by Nguyen Gobber, using a combination of Suisse Int’l & Mono and SangBleu Republic by Swiss Typefaces. It was chosen as one of the Most Beautiful Swiss Books. https://fontsinuse.com/uses/53571/the-future-tense
Sure, one can use SDL2 or whatever to draw lines, and, sure, these figures have "aliasing", but the tasks call for aliased figures. (I already did antialiased lines in ATS for a different task.)
So annoying. There is a 1 pixel discrepancy between Safari and Chrome's vertical centering of this font and I can't get the text to appear exactly the same. I've been dealing with pixel discrepancies in cross-browser web development for years, but still can't handle it lol.
A local vinyl sign has gone wonky in the heat of the last several summers and accidentally created the greatest #typeface of all time.

I've been a long time proponent and participants in open source, starting I think back when I added Unicode #fonts support for #POVRay. Got sucked into Multimedia and some #3DModeling and animation #GameArt for one of the earlier large publishers. I stepped up my #OpenSource game by becoming one of the core developers then board members for #Inkscape. Got sidelined a bit, but getting involved again.
NM #fonts question. Found a good site that lists the author, license and source for the fonts. Makes it nice to be able to verify the validity of the downloads.
Good morning all. Question: does anyone know a good place to get #fonts? Prefer #CreativeCommons or #GPL licensed fonts. Would like to avoid #google fonts if possible.
