Last year, we conducted an independent survey focused on font use and licensing. More than 1,300 respondents participated from a wide community of designers and other font users, and we have now published a short article plus the full survey results on Fontstand News: fontstand.com/news/design-...

Fun infographic shows when we tend to peak at certain things. I wrote a column about this a few years back: buff.ly/tZoWb9o

I’d love to see what liquid glass looks like applied to scorebugs (time&score graphics on sports broadcasts) with all the 3D modeling effects that are a part of it.

One major climate solution is reducing the amount of energy used in homes and businesses, and swapping out fossil fuel appliances for electric ones. But doing this home by home is slow and expensive. Researchers tried something new: What if you overhaul a whole block at once? (@kqednews.kqed.org)

I’m super excited about `text-wrap: pretty`. It does a lot more to improve typography than you might expect — at least in Safari Technology Preview 216. It improves all lines of text, not just the last 4. It enhances hyphenation & rag, not just avoiding short last lines. webkit.org/blog/16547/b...

Martians will be speaking at Figma’s main conference 🤯 So proud of our design team! They’ll be talking about dynamic colors—the result of our work around the OKLCH, APCA, and Apcach ecosystem.

There it is! Finally, a real solution for how to style all of the HTML form controls using your own custom CSS to change anything — building on an interoperable UA set of defaults. First, styling the in-page part of controls + the popover for <select>. (Later we’ll do popovers for more things.)

Fontstand is becoming a co-op! At the Fontstand Conference in The Hague, we announced that we’re becoming a cooperatively owned and managed font distributor — with expanded licensing and services. Stay tuned as we create a more equitable, transparent and democratic model for font designers.

Service skeet: @ichimnetz.com + team made a color contrast tester that evaluates against both calculation systems simultaneously: palette-tester.9elements.com BTW, I'm as much of a huge fan of APCA as I'm of OKLAB + OKLCH. All those systems that adhere to human perception make so much more sense! 👏🏻
