Did you know the GitHub Monaspace project includes nearly three quarters of a million glyphs? We documented the design process in our brand new case study: lettermatic.com/custom/monas...

Yes, the order of operations was quite different. Generally you have to start the process by ‘solving’ the glyphs that are most impacted by the fixed width. So you begin with glyphs like the boldest ‘m’ for example, and work your way towards things that fit more naturally within the constraint.

Thanks so much! It was a joy to work on. And wouldn’t have been possible without my talented colleagues at Lettermatic.

Strongly recommend this read; it leads up to a quite powerful showcase of multiple styles of the superfamily in HTML and in code. It makes perfect sense when you see it. You can checkout monaspace here if you haven't already: monaspace.githubnext.com

Some of you may know I've been working as a typeface designer at Lettermatic for the last 2.5 years. Here's the case study for Monaspace, our collaboration with @github.com @githubnext.com. I wrote the case study and worked on Cyrillic, Greek, and IPA characters for the 4.1 update.

It's tempting to think that simpler letterforms = more legibility. But in my experience, that's not true. Typefaces are design systems too, and they need a certain level of complexity to work well. Here's why: (thread) 🧵

You’d think they’d actually embrace this since the least effect ad ever must be the one to the person who just acquired the product?

The N64 architecture was designed by Silicon Graphics if I’m remembering right? I am not sure if the carts could provided a hardware boost in the same way (maybe they did?). I am pretty sure the Gameboy used this kind of concept? Cameras and rumblepacks and stuff.

Hey #gamedev #indiedev looking for someone recommendations to commission work for some art direction & UI/UX concepts. Need some help to nail down the visual look for the game. Initial idea is PSX/N64 era FPS with a splash of The FINALS

A fun thing to do is to contact illustrators and pay them to make custom art for you. People are nice and talented.
