MCKL

Shoutout to the typefaces mentioned in this episode of the Interrogang: 🌽 Cornbread from @maxitype_com 🔴🎩 Red Hat and Redaction from @mckltype 🕰️ Early Sans and Late Serif from Character Type 🅱️ New fonts from @BadsonStudio buzzsprout.com/1687654/154888…

Hosted by @WSJ, the Journal House identity leverages their existing typographic forms and extends them into a full visual language. The custom type family, Journal Masthead by @mckltype, builds from the exact letterforms and kerning found in the iconic @wsj identity.

Journal House 🗞 serves as @WSJ's home away from home during premier global events, facilitating dialogues, providing a place to relax, and sparking story exchanges. Full case study: order.design/project/journa…

Today on Brand New (Linked): For a new campaign, McCann enlisted @mckltype to design a custom type family for @tjmaxx, based on the retailer’s logo in order to replace the previous use of Helvetica. underconsideration.com/brandnew/archi…

Who needs Helvetica? T.J. Maxx ditches the iconic font in for its own custom type. f-st.co/yb9ci4o

@domesticetch Some similarities with this revival I did for @houseindustries housefonts.com/hi/plinc-circle

Sometimes I post old things on here solely in the hopes that some type designer will turn part of it into a typeface

@typotheque @pathumego does great work

We are looking for type designers working with #Sinhala

@brandonhaslegs No, sorry -- never got around to that!

@mckltype Is Redaction on GitHub? I know it’s an open source font so thought it might be, but I can’t find it!

@flaviazim Tal's Guide Tool is great

robofont users, which extension do you use for guides on version 4?

@firstclassrice OOF!

i don’t care about astrology just tell me which Ed Ruscha piece is your favorite cause everybody’s got one

@robgiampietro Sorry to hear that, Rob. I'm sure the next chapter will be even more exciting than the last!

Today me and many of my talented colleagues from Google's Insight+Innovation team were let go. Grateful for the exciting ride.✌️ My heart goes out to all those affected. I'm still processing, but in every end is a new beginning. I'm looking forward to discovering what's next.

Today on Brand New (Noted): New Logo for @bonappetit by @mckltype underconsideration.com/brandnew/archi…

Beloved food and dining magazine Bon Appétit has just served up a piping fresh rebrand right in time for their holiday issue. The new magazine was reimagined under creative director Arsh Raziuddin, design director Caroline Newton, and design studio MCKL. l8r.it/673w

Our magazine also got a new look led by creative director @arshraziuddin and featuring a print-exclusive custom typeface from @mckltype. Read about it here: bit.ly/3ER3Q9g

@rsms @ArrowType @calderon_type I was drawing in Robofont and using FDK to produce final files. I noticed that italic TTFs had glyphs jumping around, on characters like ‘u’ that didn’t have left extrema.

@mckltype @ArrowType @calderon_type Interesting! Do you remember what shaper (or software) you observed that in? I’m curious to find out more.

Which one renders better?

@R_Typography Value Serif by @colophonfoundry

Any examples of typefaces with an old style g and a one-storied a, come to mind?

@rsms @ArrowType @calderon_type In my tests it was hinting independent.

@mckltype @ArrowType @calderon_type That’s probably only true if you add hint though, right?

@ArrowType @calderon_type Not having the left extrema can cause problems with TTF, the glyph can randomly shift in position. Learned that one the hard way!

@calderon_type Top and bottom extrema are important, but left/right extrema don’t matter as much. Often, trying to add right/left extrema just messes up interpolation, as in cases like this, or in an italic n, etc
