Martina Plantijn is a better Plantin.
Informed by the workhorse qualities of Pierpont’s typeface and expanding upon his research of 16th century type at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Martina Plantijn makes decisive digital updates across its roman and italic cuts.
@caligracomputer has excellent type thanks to @klimtypefoundry. From our logo, to the Workbench UI, to the terminal, to the labels on the keyboard. These fonts are doing so much work for us 👍👍👍
only just realised the other day that the claude font was made by a type foundry in wellington (@klimtypefoundry). now i feel justified reading everything he says in a mumbly kiwi accent klim.co.nz/collections/tiemp…
In an industry where commercial pressure and corporate monopoly conditions our typographic landscape, making yet another grotesk seems like the ultimate compromise. To dismiss Helvetica denies its power.
To embrace it risks the charge of selling out. At once homage and critique, Die Grotesk is a breath of fresh air that acknowledges the tension between creative integrity and commercial reality.
Kia ora font whānau,
Our good friends at @Fontstand need your help.
As part of their transition to be the first type foundry cooperative, they’re running a Font User Survey:
typotheque.qualtrics.com/jfe…
After completing the survey you’ll get a bundle of fonts as a reward.
Klim isn’t on Fontstand. We’re asking this of you because we support their courageous effort to do something different. We’re also very interested in the results of the survey — simplifying font licensing is a long-standing goal of ours.
