Welcome to #FeatureFocusFriday #1, a series of posts focussing on font editor innovations. This first clip focusses on in-place component editing and 100% OpenType-compliant bi-directional font rendering; the assurance that your font will always be the way it looks in the editor

Counterpunch: browser‑based, GPLv3 font editor with bidirectional shaping, in‑place component editing, dynamic glyph filters & AI assistant. WYSIWYG, Python scripting, alpha now, beta late spring, full launch Oct 2026. #typedesign #typography

@adxtyahq Can we use your stress test?

I ended up building a small stress test around this. You drop an idea, it maps it against 920+ failed VC-backed startups and flags failure modes + what not to copy. x.com/adxtyahq/statu…

Someone curated 925 failed VC-backed startups, broke down why they failed, and how to make it work with today’s tech - loot-drop.vercel.app Cool fr🙌

Sukoon Font, out soon on @fontwerk inshallah. #arabic #variable #font #variablefont #graphicdesign #design #art #typography #cairo #ai #midjourney #surrealism

Showcase of the Sukoon Font’s variable Kashida feature and tell people that kashida.fyi exists: Transform your Arabic text to include Kashidas following the traditional ruleset. Sukoon Font, out on @fontwerk before the end of the year inshallah.

The beauty of variable font technology. Sukoon Font, out soon on @fontwerk

Merz already invited Netanyahu to Germany in complete defiance to the ICC arrest warrants. Who needs AfD in power when Union+SPD are going to destroy international law?

I keep showing the curvy kashidas but of course you can always use the normal ones, and the contrast between the mechanical straight lines and the other letters can be quite exciting. Sukoon Font, out 2025 on @fontwerk #arabic #sukoon #font #graphicdesign #cinema #branding

I keep saying that I love the Regular the most, but this is also nice. As usual, I’m in the last stages of wrapping up! Sukoon Font, due out 2025 on @fontwerk, inshallah. #sukoon #font #graphicdesign #typography #arabic

@elonmusk And for anyone that wants an easy video to summarize it all. Please note my tone of voice is emotional, but I don’t mean to sound condescending. I welcome discussion and debate about any of my sources or interpretations here.

That AIPAC purchased the seats of about 90% or more of our current congress. JFK famously wanted them registered as a foreign agent right before he was shot and thus they changed their name and never registered. Why are we letting a foreign lobby buy off our congress? That Israel was obviously the state sponsor of Jefrey Epstein, whose handler was Ehud Barak, ex head of Israeli military intelligence, his funding was Les Wexner one of the worlds richest Zionist 'philanthropists' and he was accused by ex Mossad assets of being Mossad. Not to mention the Maxwell connection. (They had blackmail on Clinton, and many, many more.) He who holds the blackmail holds the leash- just ask J. Edgar Hoover. That Israel is the only nation who has a defacto sanctioned, yet actually secret and unsanctioned nuclear program. A program that they stole from the United States- look into the Apollo affair, NUMEC, the Dimona nuclear facility. That jews, muslims, and christians lived side by side in peace in Palestine before the Rothschilds purchased the country from Britain during WW1 (see the Balfour declaration) and began their colonial program. That the groups that founded Israel, Lehi, Irgun, and Hagannah, were declared terrorist organizations by Israel itself because their tactics were so deplorable (bombing British and Palestinian civilians) yet these three 'paramilitary' groups rebranded to form the IDF and their leadership became the leadership of Israel for the following thirty plus years. That Israel is a foreign nation halfway across the world that has no business receiving my tax dollars. Why are we sending them billions of dollars of our tax money while our country burns, is overrun by illegal immigration, etc? We are told Israel is our 'greatest ally' so why would they have had a massive spy network targeting US government agencies leading up to sep 11, 2001 - see the Israeli art students DEA report for copious evidence of Israeli surveillance all across the continental US. This is an official government report that cites hundreds of incidents of observed Israeli surveillance teams documented by US government agents all across the continental US. And we still have received 0 answers why there were numerous fake Israeli moving companies positioned all across the eastern seaboard leading into September 11, 2001 and we have multiple eye witness reports, as well as hard photographic evidence that they knew the attacks were coming at least a day before they did and that they were positioned at a vantage point to photograph the attack up to a half hour before the first plane hit. Never got any answers- but you can read the official FBI reports about the incident. I've broken them down live on X before. That's just a small list of some of the best documented reasons why I, as an American, dont want Israel receiving any of my tax dollars. And I didn't even mention my obvious objections to the collective punishment, mass surveillance, forced starvation, bombing of refugee camps, brutal murdering of women and children that's been going on in Gaza and the West Bank for years, decades- which you can watch in graphic detail right here on X. And that's not to mention that somehow we let congress pass laws outlawing 'antisemitic' speech, despite our own first amendment. And we have anti-boycott legislation in multiple states, despite the fact that it's perfectly legal to boycott American companies... just not Israeli ones. Every content creator knows the fastest way to get demonetized, banned, and slandered is to be critical of Israel. I figured you would have realized this too after what they did to you and tried to do to X last year.

Gaza: Israel hat fünf Journalisten gezielt ermordet. Ihr Auto war unverkennbar als „Presse“ gekennzeichnet. Sie wurden getötet, nachdem sie vom Awda Krankenhaus berichteten, das belagert und wiederholt beschossen wird. Deutschlands Presse trägt Mitschuld. Durch ihr Schweigen.

Israel has just massacred five journalists in Gaza, burning them alive. This on the same day that reports emerge of Palestinian babies freezing to death in the refugee camps. Every day this regime charts new depths of barbarism.

Germany's largest public media outlet @tageschau reports on the 5 journalists murdered in Gaza with the picture of their bombed press car and the headline "Israel kills Hamas fighters". Rushing ahead with the framing. Not even Israel claims that. That’s German media.

Self-proclaimed Zionist Holocaust-washing neo-Nazis, because Israel

@TiroTypeworks @fontwerk Thanks, but cursive attachment goes beyond that sweet spot I want to hit between modern appearance/UX and calligraphic tradition. I'd rather try to balance the elongated bowls better, but they do go upwards in Naskh. If anything it's not enough, so even further clockwise turn.

@yanone @fontwerk I experimented with rotating the whole block 1.1°, and think it looks more stable. Obviously, rotation at the font level would need to be at the glyph level, and would require curs attachment implementation.

Won’t ship full Qur’anic support from the beginning, because there are loads of small technical issues to solve, like the small alef as in ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ, which is supposed to show a curved baseline here, too. But I’ll ship an update later 💯. Sukoon Font, 2025 on @fontwerk.
