a gentle reminder that all 3 typefaces from the Women in Type collection follow the "in progress" model. you can help us expand by licensing them for a fraction of what will become the final price, with free updates as the project progresses. just head to flaviazim.com

are you ready for the second collab?! say hello to Jobim, a Vendome-inspired display typeface that infuses a vernacular approach based on the lettering from the poster of Orfeu Negro. what @ingaploennigs and I like to call a Brazilian-German reinterpretation of a French classic.

the cat is out of the bag (or should I say cats? 😻)! meet the power trio behind my new collaborative type families: @tidatep, @ingaploennigs, and @ayakaito. and if you lost the official announcement, here it goes shorturl.at/bktS0

Mit René Bieder, @FontFabrik, Christoph @koeberlin, Daria Petrova, @ingaploennigs und @espiekermann stehen bzw. sitzen euch 6 Expert·innen einen Abend lang Rede und Antwort, schauen auf eure Schriftentwürfe, geben Feedback. #TypeCrit #BerlinTypeFamily #TStT102 #Typostammtisch

I am wiping my Twitter account clean, so if I suddenly left a conversation with you from 2 years ago, it’s because I am deleting them as well. Please don’t take it personally! 😅

We don’t normally post these on Twitter, but here’s a treat for all of you going down with the ship Out weekly update featuring: Mestika by @Boharat_type Zeplin by @manictype BRZO by @nuformtype Messer by @ingaploennigs Gimme by @typearture CoFo Peshka by @contrastfoundry

@RomulBY @futurefonts Very sorry for the inconvenience. I fixed it!

@futurefonts @ingaploennigs The trial version of Messer Pixel contains no glyphs, just an empty file.

🎉 SPECIAL OFFER: Messer Pixel! 🎉 Until the end of this year, Messer v2.3 by @ingaploennigs comes with a pixel version in two styles: Upright and Italic. The Messer version stays exactly the same. futurefonts.xyz/inga-plonnigs/…

@hhpapazian @EvaSilvertant @futurefonts I have a simple explanation why I did it the way I did it. Maybe a few more years of experience and you see it too. The fact that you underestimate me is understandable (patriarchy). But the fact that you overestimate yourself and type design… come on 😂 it’s not rocket science

@EvaSilvertant @futurefonts @ingaploennigs Admittedly the coarser the grid the more painful the compromises... but the greater the logic of the *grid* matters. Like check out this tour de force: twitter.com/hhpapazian/sta… The interesting question is: how much should the "outline" font compromise in return...

Contraforma 💌 is back!! issue 6 features @ingaploennigs, @tassiana_costa, @franziskaweit, @maria_doreuli, and @phaedracharles! and yes, you probably already guessed the theme. mailchi.mp/de5495261afa/c…

@kyleread 🤯🥹

Pretty sure my favorite type designer is @ingaploennigs.

Messer Condensed 2.2 by @ingaploennigs is a condensed, sharper version of its sister Messer. It boasts an elegant but confident vibe and looks great at large sizes. futurefonts.xyz/inga-plonnigs/…

Zetkin v0.6 by @ingaploennigs has determined diagonals, a strong slant, and extended proportions that make it a confident display typeface. A wide range in weights and styles make it useful for all kinds of uses. futurefonts.xyz/inga-plonnigs/…

🆕🆕🆕@KimyaGandhi’s Fit Devanagari hurts my brain in the best way possible. I was only a bit player in this project but I am still so proud of how it turned out! 🤯🤯🤯 djr.com/fit-devanagari

I am attending and super excited to learn about the handwritten Cyrillic alphabet 🤩

@dan_07734 @frerejones Thank you very much!

✳︎ IN THE WILD ✳︎ Zetkin by Inga Plönnigs in use for “Politics of Type” book by Andreas Blindert, a Germany-based writer, designer, and type researcher. Andreas typeset both the cover and pages in Zetkin.

Congrats to @greggazdowicz and the whole team! Roboto Serif is great and it was so much fun working with you all! I worked on the Micro Wide weights and broke my arm in the middle of the project but it still worked out time-wise 😅
