I'm so excited to share the Syllabics project that @typotheque and I have been working on for the past two years, one that provides meaningful results for Indigenous communities in Canada. Please enjoy watching the short film we made to present the project!
Typotheque@typotheque

In collaboration with the Indigenous communities we have developed a series of Canadian Syllabics fonts, that improve the encoding standards, and make the fonts available to previously ignored people. Launching 8 font families today. tptq.com/syllabics

Happy 25th birthday @typotheque! It was my pleasure to create this map for the exhibition of all of the scripts that November supports, and will support, in the future.
Typotheque@typotheque

We created this map of the world’s writing scripts for the anniversary exhibition in Den Haag. (Thanks @calligraphio!). All 36 presented scripts are set in one font — November. Most of the language versions are already published, some will come soon. It has been a massive project

This is a big win for the Heiltsuk community as it enables full representation and access to their writing system on all digital devices. We look forward to extending the impact of this success through our continued partnership between Heiltsuk Revitalization and @typotheque

Anyone has contacts with the Taznatit and Tagargrent language speakers of Algeria? We have a simple orthography question, and any help would be much appreciated.
