My running hypothesis as a UX Researcher: Does a deep knowledge of a non-Latin script—and the pen/formatting skills learned from that cultural perspective—make a typographer more inclined to favor the single-story 'a'?
It's a familiarity/taste thing, maybe? 🤔 #TypeDesign #Typography #UXResearch #Letterforms

Just published a case study on our site about how Ghanaian street poster lettering became a Google Font. David Abbey-Thompson's work on Ga Maamli is a brilliant example of preserving vernacular design digitally, making it worth sharing for anyone interested in how culture shapes typography.

HBD Darius Wells born 26 April 1800 Kingsboro, NY. He invented the router—a lateral revolving cutting tool—to make the first machine cut wood types. 1st specimen catalog in 1828 co. became D. Wells & Co in 1835 & Wells & Webb in 1839.
He was an active abolitionist, and ran a “station” on the underground railroad in Patterson, NJ helping enslaved humans make their way north to Canada to live as free humans.

Loving these unintentional glyphs
#typography #letterforms -
came across this vision of the future by Dwiggins: The Five Hundred Years: A Time Problem (1941)
looking forward to a "century of awakening", but hope the "machine horde" doesn't get us first.

Pushing boundaries of Devanāgarī type design
[email protected], @motaitalic, BERLINDevanagari letters have a rich history, but technological limitations have hindered their digital evolution — until recently. #OpenType, #Unicode, and widespread internet use in #India have opened up new possibilities. Now is the perfect time to explore and innovate with these #letterforms and push the boundaries of #Devanagari #typedesign.

“This is a huge effort that makes no economic sense. It makes no business sense,” Ive says. “The only sense, the only way you can resolve why we’re doing this, is because we think it’s important and we care. And do we care for us? No, we actually believe that it’s a service to culture.” #design #letterforms
