✨ I am looking for a new full-time job! ✨ As you may know, I’ve been working closely with Louise Fili as her Senior Designer and Associate, and more recently as a Partner at Tipofili. After nearly six years, I am looking for what’s next! matthewsmith.website/portfolio

i wish fonts didnt cost $100000000 to use legally so if you use one in an app you're basically forced to use Inter or something on google fonts or nothing at all

Who's even advocating for the little guy? Real tough time to be a junior designer. Junior anything. The industry is trading its future for a few sloppy bucks. The least many could do was just to stop shilling these snake oil barrels. But no.

@Paul_Hanslow Also considering changing my approach to the notes section. Previously thought of having notes for each section: General, Licensing, etc. but I think that’ll be a bit cumbersome. Instead wondering if I might introduce “Warnings” with a ⚠️ symbol & pop up on hover or something

@Paul_Hanslow Just came across this which I thought was kinda hilarious: “VIOLATION OF THE LICENSE WILL BE CHARGED 10 TIMES THE ACTUAL LICENSE PRICE.”

@Paul_Hanslow - HEX (though not a fan of the mix-bundled metrics) - Mass-Driver - MB Type - Lettermatic (but I dislike that you can’t read find the license until you start the checkout process) For HEX and MB, I am a sucker for anyone that permits modifications to the font files

Another recent note: “Trial fonts are missing the “E” and “e” characters which is infuriating.”
