I’ve set up “Wild Type Gear”: a little T-shirt shop with some typographic designs I liked to see on shirts. Prices are as low as possible, because it’s just a fun project (I don’t make any profit out of this).

Working on Questa
Martin Majoor and I had a great day today working on Questa. We’re still in the middle of determining and testing lowercase italic shapes for the text version. Questa will come in three variations: text, display and sans (each in regular, italic, bold and bold italic).

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
