#serifs — Public Fediverse posts

Some of the most peculiar #typedesign details of Luperca, our most recently published #typeface and Ariel Martín Pérez's fist translation-contrast typeface : 1) The #serifs of the letters /C and /E were designed to look like #wolf fangs, while the bar of the /E is round, like a tongue inside a mouth.

The airport architect appears to have constrained the presence of brand colors, they dofferentiate with type, typography, ligarures, apostrophes. Finland doesn't conspicuously capitalise on Halloween.

Dear #font designers,

A #monospace lowercase 'L' does *not* looks like this:

__ | __

It looks like this:

Please take heed and stop making 'L's look like ones. Thankyou.

Weirdly specific rant, complete.

Hi Mike,

Yes the #layout is a bit bland but #serif fonts can be good for #readability.

For an #instance focused on #news #serifs might be helpful.

We hope their #characterLimit is well above 500 so people can actually discuss news. A minimum of 2000 characters would probably be useful.
