If I had one wish, I’d wish for less ‘inspired by’ and more ‘solves this problem’ typefaces.

Goodbye, #Skype. You were a loyal companion and actually one of my most used apps right up to the end. Give my best regards to ICQ!

Danke, Juli Zeh, für diesen beeindruckend reflektierten Beitrag zum Zustand unserer Demokratie. srf.ch/audio/sternstu…

The best AI feature so far is that it reminds me of the forgotten attachment BEFORE I send an email.

Ich habe bereits das Buch von Katja Oskamp mit Begeisterung verschlungen, aber die darauf basierende Serie „Marzahn Mon Amour“ ist eine grandiose Adaption des Stoffen mit sensationell gutem Ensemble, Schnitt und Musik. Absolute Empfehlung … Beides! ardmediathek.de/serie/marzahn-…

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.

Welche Bücher bei mir im vergangenen Jahr einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen haben (und welche nicht), verrate ich hier. ❦ ivo.berlin/mein-buecherja…

@itaydre @jjelmm @xhfloz @grillitype fontwerk.com ;)

@jjelmm @xhfloz @grillitype nice! at this pace I might create a new are.na channel

top industries for web design inspiration at the moment are music and type foundries

It was exactly 15 years ago today that we published Web FontFonts at FontShop – the first self-hostable webfonts after the webfont services from Typotheque and Typekit.

Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen wünschte ich, die Wahlkampfteams der #Bundestagswahl2025 hätten meinen zwar etwas betagten, aber weiterhin gültigen Artikel zu „Schrift in der Wahlwerbung“ gelesen. ivo.berlin/schrift-in-der… #btw25 #btw2025

Designer Stefan Gubatz hat das nahezu komplette Raveline-Archiv ins Netz gestellt. Das legendäre Technomagazin lief der Frontpage zwar grafisch hinterher, war inhaltlich aber näher an meinem Erleben elektronischer Musik. Also rein in die Zeitmaschine! raveline.de

I’m particularly happy about this news: As we also wanted to simplify our academic offering as much as possible, the 50% discount on the entire font range now extends from universities, schools and educational institutions to also include students, pupils, trainees and teachers.

What’s the best RSS reader app for MacOS these days?

Fontwerk 2.0 – the new website fontwerk.com, the new Base License, the new Trial Fonts and the new Education License – feels like my biggest project so far. I hope this is not a question of age … ;) I’m so happy it’s finally out. Huge thank you to everyone involved!

This song has just cracked the 100 plays mark on my iTunes. I could listen to it for hours (and I actually do). It gives me the feeling that everything (EVERYTHING!) is just good. soundcloud.com/carbonbasedlif…

Being on @creativeboom’s curated ‘Independent type foundries set to be popular with designers in 2025’ list feels very special. Thanks to everyone who has us on their radar. creativeboom.com/resources/20-m… #Fontwerk #CreativeBoom #TypeFoundry

My friend Евгений Юкечев (Eugene Yukechev) and his team @schriftpblshrs are finally launching their Schrift Foundry website. Congratulations on the launch! schriftfoundry.com

Another important survey, set up by @elliotjaystocks and Jake Giltsoff. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

After a long time, a real goosebump trance track: Mario de Caine ‘Patagonia’. Can’t wait for an Extended Version. youtube.com/watch?v=paD7yu… #PureTrance

Regardless of what you think of the market leader, their Global Font Use Survey is very helpful to the industry and can certainly benefit from participants who do not normally license fonts in the MT ecosystem. So my appeal: please participate. myfonts.com/a/font/monotyp…
