Did anyone make that “what Monotype swallowed” history chart yet?—We have a class of design students visiting today, and this might be a good talking point.—Cc: @tphinney @kai @typeoff @underwareyeah, it is a bit tricky to define. I would count “Neue haas grotesk” as an Helvetica, but would Arial or “Swiss” count as clones? What is the line or would define as a “revival”, “clone”, “official”, etc.

Garamond and the not-really-Garamonds? Times (New) Roman? Bodoni?

I climbed the tower of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft and saw this funky and oddly gorgeous degraded lettering@veryrobin they didn’t originally look like that but more like the letters below. If you zoom in you can see that the letters have similar but unique degradations. I’m not sure what caused it to weather like that however.

Drawbot feels like the type of software that uses it own font renderer or a consistent library for that is the same across all OSes like freeType.

#introduction Glad to finally be on Mastodon, where all the cool type kids seem to be!#introduction Glad to finally be on Mastodon, where all the cool type kids seem to be! I guess I can start out with a typography joke I made up many years ago: “Helvetica walks into a bar and sees Arial and immediately accuses them of being a copy. Arial responds with, ‘It wasn't my fault! It was just an Akzidenz!’”
