Firefoxの新しいマスコットキャラクター「キットちゃん」がMozillaのガイドラインに登場。今更ですが「キツネでもレッサーパンダでもない、Firefox独自の生き物です」とのこと。これは、ただただかわいすぎるやつ.......。

@1000kilobytes Why the hell Apple is relying on PDF format for their vector formats. Instead of inventing their own, or using the standard SVG?
Is there any performance considerations behind the logic, or are they just stuck with this format?

@nilansanjaya the conversation on threads was much better. i thought this was a tweet and it took me 20 minutes to find this cross-post

@MarkFonts Thanks, Mark. Whoever buys will be the first. It's early days; no sales so far.

@severedspaces @guillaumebth It is not, you see, because it is in brutalist serif not performant sans /s
English

@guillaumebth id suggest reconsider the "missing vowel" name trope, its very 2010s app boom and feels like satire of a needless product. for anything but a design assistance tool it would be no big deal but taste is important here.

Coming from an engineering background - this is actually math proving itself here 😁
The two circles have less blue area than a full pill because you lose that connecting section when you split them. So 100 vs 100 is already uneven in actual mass. Dropping the pill to 92 brings it closer to the real area of the two circles.
The visual balance and the math are saying the same thing here. Fun visual experiment 👍

@joshpuckett I wanted to make something like these with more legible, unsqueezed proportions

@MarkFonts Hey, Mark. It was a semi-sarcastic take with a sprinkling of truth.
I'm just tired, man. We're all just tired.

@papertower82571 @ilovetypography Is this a bot? They released a 2 axis variable font. What more could you ask for, buy!!
English

Gigafly is a super-sharp, hyper-modern sans family from ROHH. It comes packed to bursting with scores of cool alternate characters — and is also available as a 2-axes variable font!

The aesthetic fingerprint of vibe-coded UIs is becoming its own genre — all glass morphism, floating pills, and these accordion tabs you're describing. Interesting that AI tends toward these patterns by default, probably because they're overrepresented in its training data from design showcases.
English

I don’t know what you call them, but these little side tabs are like the emdash of vibe coded UIs

This feels like gibberish: The Processing Pipeline
When you drop in a scan, FontCrafter runs a multi-stage image processing pipeline: adaptive thresholding to isolate ink from paper, connected-component blob detection to find individual characters, Suzuki-Abe contour tracing to extract outlines, Ramer-Douglas-Peucker (RDP) simplification to reduce point count, Chaikin corner-cutting for smooth curves, and cubic Bézier fitting to produce clean vector paths. The entire pipeline is tuned for handwriting — pen pressure variation, stroke overlap, and ink bleed are all accounted for.

@eliheuer Nice. Try this tool too: arcade.pirillo.com/fontcrafter.ht…
