Calluna: first italic impressions
I’ve started working on the italics of Calluna. These are just first impressions … so everything is subject to change at the moment and of course spacing is very very rough.

Wonderful tool for type designers
Interpolated Nudge by Christian Robertson
A few months ago I discovered this utterly useful free python script that shifts control points proportionally with it’s anchor points. I can’t think of editing contours without it anymore. You can find the Interpolated Nudge script *here*.

“The idea is pretty simple. Wouldn’t it be nice to move a node while keeping the tension in the curve? When tweeking, bolding and making fonts wider, I prefer to use the keyboard to ‘nudge’ the points around. It makes it easy to keep track of measurements, to make sure that the new stroke weight/character widths are consistent.” – Christian Robertson

Museo Sans numbers
After reading Tal Leming’s fraction fever I decided to give this a go. I’ve long wanted to script a decent fraction feature, but couldn’t get it right. This is working perfectly (for now … I’ve only tested it in Indesign CS2 on Tiger). Click on the images to see it animated.
Still in progress … but Museo Sans will end up with nominators, denominators, superiors, inferiors, oldstyle figures (proportional & tabular) and lining figures (proportional & tabular).

Fertigo Pro
In between Anivers and Museo Sans I decided to update “the font nobody’s waiting for”. Just for fun, because it is fun. It will be completely redrawn and have full language support (like Museo).

Calluna & Calluna Sans
[In progress] Calluna & Calluna Sans. Last Christmas (2007) I was so involved with Museo that I needed a little break from it. Calluna is the result of that pause. It will be my first (serious) attempt to do a text face.
May 13, 2008
Anivers family
[In progress] Anivers will be updated soon with an italic, a bold and small caps. There will be extended language support and improved spacing & kerning.

License update II
[UPDATE – May 12th 2009]
You may use this font for Font-Face embedding, but only if you put a link to www.exljbris.nl on your page and/or put this notice /* A font by Jos Buivenga (exljbris) -> www.exljbris.nl */ in your CSS file as near as possible to the piece of code that declares the Font-Face embedding of this font.

This regards all my free fonts. Also the free weights of Museo and Museo Sans!
