Cool to see the concept of contextual repositioning for better monospaced typefaces finding a huge audience through GitHub’s new coding font. A small credit for the idea would have been nice tho. finaltype.de/en/projects/mon…
monaspace.githubnext.com All code has been letters, on a grid, since the days of the teletype machine. How can we advance the state of the art to make code itself more expressive and powerful? How can we layer more meaning onto code?

I think „Monoflow“ by @finaltype_de pioneered this idea of contextual repositioning. finaltype.de/en/projects/mon…

Currently Operator Mono. But Monoflow is also an excellent choice: finaltype.de/en/projects/mon… @finaltype_de

Anfang des Jahres wurde zunächst im Web eine neue ZDF-Hausschrift »ZDF Type« (von @bboxtype) eingesetzt. Heute erfolgte die Umstellung im TV. Damit ist die ZDF-News von @espiekermann ein Fall für die Geschichtsbücher. (5/6) brandguide.zdf.de/channels/z…

Die neue Schrift, abgeleitet von der »Helvetica« (aber besser lesbar und ebenfalls #uniwidth), erinnert in manchen Details (I,i,l) auch an die »ZDFnews«. So lebt vielleicht ein Teil von ihr im Geiste weiter. Ob das stilistisch Sinn ergibt, bleibt aber fraglich. (6/6)

Just updated my article on #uniwidth typefaces with even more examples – including typefaces by @jakob_runge, @finaltype_de, @FontFont, @aaronbell and @martinmajoor. Thanks #typotwitter for pointing them out to me! 🔎🔠
I recently came across the concept of "uniwidth" typefaces – every letter has the same width across different weights – and was surprised to find very little resources. So I put together my own 🤓✍️: uxdesign.cc/uniwidth-typefac…

Where does the data come from? We built this machine for the conference. It measured the duration of the keypress events and mapped it to a variable font resulting in individual »ditigal handwriting«
