I have been watching @noclipvideo documentaries for years – super cool to see them make one about a game I worked on!
My colleagues at Lettermatic and I designed the fonts for the game, with the talented team at @Obsidian. Our full case study is here:

Finally started Pentiment after buying it during the Steam sales last year and I absolutely adore all of the work @lettermatic_abc put into designing the type and all of its little imperfections. Also love how big a part eating around a table with people plays in the daily cycle

All code has been letters, on a grid, since the days of the teletype machine. How can we advance the state of the art to make code itself more expressive and powerful? How can we layer more meaning onto code?

@jesawyer Typeface designer @danellecheney on our team did spot some historical instances of these more 'diamond' shaped details, so she worked those in prominently as one of Marie's in-world choices.

Nothing would technologically prevent it. In fiction, the type was developed by Marie, Magdalene’s mother (hence, Druckeryn). Stylistic choices were made by the typographer at @lettermatic_abc who designed it with that in mind.

@jesawyer @lettermatic_abc Love it. Curious to know if there is a similar story to Magadlene's i's and j's star-shaped dots? I don't think that would've been on early metal typefaces?

In Pentiment there is a plot point about Brother Guy’s textura bookhand having a distinctive y tail because of his native Burgundian bastard script. We had @lettermatic_abc make a y variant for the textura font and Guy is the only character who uses it.

I'm very proud of Portamento, a new typeface designed for Google Developers by the team at @lettermatic_abc!
It has monospace fonts, and proportional fonts, all within one family. 🔤🔠
I wrote an in-depth case study about the design process, here:

More than any other type family we’ve made, Portamento had a design process anchored in engineering. Naturally I didn’t want to get it wrong. Here’s the story of how I created a process that helped make sure I got it right:
