Ronan's Occasional Typography Tours takes you today to Oldtown to see a modern geometric sans in concrete and Marino to see beautiful vertical ironwork irish lettering #type#lettering#design#typography
#NowPlaying early 1970s #progrock & sub-genres. Classic #typography of the period. From the unique & ornate to the stylistically absent, most suggesting an 'otherness', whether it be in historical time, from another culture, or from another world or universe entirely. #vinyl#graphicdesign#logodesign
Anxiously waiting for the moment that FontExplorer Pro 6, bought back in… 2016? eventually stops working.
Is it back to MacOS font manager or are there any comparable apps for this? Monotype now redirects to their subscription service, but I just want to MANAGE fonts! #typography
#Typography in #html and #css question, which is super hard to search for, and which I solved once years ago but lost in the meantime:
You are typesetting standard one-column text (article, novel, etc) in HTML5. There needs to be a blockquote inside the paragraph, which continues after the quote.
Suppose further that the block quote itself contains 2 paragraphs.
On its face this cannot be done: both <p> and <blockquote> are block elements, by spec <p> cannot contain block elements.
…
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.
I’ve spent the last few months crafting my own home on the Web, and I wanted to make sure it presented me as a human, not defined solely by my work as a #DesignEngineer / #WebDev.
This has also been a great opportunity to finally use #Svelte & #SvelteKit in a project. I love how easy it was to learn and how intuitive it is, as someone who started with vanilla HTML and CSS
Setting #typography is a daunting arguably the most important design task. I’ve been mulling over this site’s design for the past two years and have gone through several font pairings.
For headings, I’ve chosen Fraunces by @undercasetype for its warmth and “wonkiness”. Despite being a modern variable font, it has quite an analog print feel.
And I chose a monospace font for body text, The Future Mono by @klim—it embodies the intersection of design and engineering. And it’s just so gorgeous.
Amazed to see that @FontsInUse does not yet have an entry yet on "Computer Programmert Zur Unterhaltung" magazine, I'm weirdly fascinated by its typography.
A local vinyl sign has gone wonky in the heat of the last several summers and accidentally created the greatest #typeface of all time.

An #introduction, or reconnection for those who used to follow me at that Bird thing: I’m a professional engineer and designer with a keen interest in #DesignLeadership, #DesignOps, #UX, #InfoDesign, #DataViz, and #Typography. I currently work as the Head of UX at a major financial software company, where I lead the UX research, product design, design operations, technical writing, and localization teams. Before moving to the tech sector, I worked in management consulting, and, prior to that, I was a mechanical and industrial engineer working in aerospace and defence. When I’m not at my day job, I teach design at OCAD, where I’ve been a faculty member for over a decade. I’ve lived in Toronto for most of my adult life but given that my employer is now permanently remote I recently moved to the small town of Stratford, where my partner @kteahen and I have a house which is about to undergo a major renovation. 🤞
I wrote a 3000+ word case study about the making of fonts for Pentiment, the latest game from Obsidian. 🎮🔤
The case study is the story of making an extremely thorough toolkit of digital fonts to let the team at Obsidian accurately, warmly, and legibly recreate the writing of people living 500 years ago. In total we drew over 2,700 glyphs (including inking these by hand with authentic writing tools). ✍️
i hold a job title of #webdev at a very large company, but actually attend and create a lot of meetings. when not in a meeting i might be RTFM for #react.
