Typography plays a crucial role in design and finding the right font can take a few minutes or a few days. According to Vijay Verma, every font has specific design intent, communicates certain attributes. Fortunately, there are many (free) online libraries to help you these days, such as Google Fonts, MyFonts, Lineto, TypeAtelier, or TypeMates.
Design experts argue (here, here) that the geometric fonts below will work very well in modern user interfaces. These fonts are used among others by IKEA, Spotify, NASA, AirBnB, Volkswagen, Apple, Marvel, and Snapchat. Can you guess which is which?
Lineto Font Collection
The object underlying all of the matplotlib.patches objects isthe Path, which supports the standard set ofmoveto, lineto, curveto commands to draw simple and compound outlinesconsisting of line segments and splines. The Path is instantiatedwith a (N, 2) array of (x, y) vertices, and a N-length array of pathcodes. For example to draw the unit rectangle from (0, 0) to (1, 1), wecould use this code:
Paths represent the geometry of the outline of an object,defined in terms of moveto (set a new current point),lineto (draw a straight line), curveto (drawa curve using a cubic Bézier), arc (ellipticalor circular arc) and closepath (close the currentshape by connecting to the last moveto) commands.Compound paths (i.e., a path with multiple subpaths) arepossible to allow effects such as "donut holes" in objects.
The following sections list the commands that canbe usedin path data strings. Those thatdraw straight line segments include the lineto commands(L, l,H, h, V and v)and the close path commands(Z and z). These three groups of commands draw curves:
Brady Shearer: On episode 139, Alex, we shared seven free fonts for churches. We wanted to do the inverse of that in this episode, and share mostly the most expensive fonts that have existed in the universe.
Brady Shearer: This is like premium designer clothing for fonts. Sometimes the stock fonts that everybody has is just not going to make it. You need something custom made from an exotic location, because apparently all of these are from Europe or Asia.
Brady Shearer: This is a great place to peruse different sites that are using fonts, and see okay, how are different fonts being paired with one another? How are they looking like in different sizes, and in different use cases?
Note that in order to Browserify a project using PDFKit, you need to install the brfs module with npm,which is used to load built-in font data into the package. It is listed as a devDependency inPDFKit's package.json, so it isn't installed by default for Node users.If you forget to install it, Browserify will print an error message.
Bringing the neo-grotesque program into the realm of variable fonts, Artex is an innovative typeface designed by Valentin Brustaux. With its simplified forms tempering strict geometry, Artex proposes a distinctive graphic language in which modern efficiency meets contemporary technology.
Eager to design a typographic tool that would equally perform as static text blocks and motion graphics, Brustaux researched thoughtful, rational shapes that could optimize the quality of transitions between the extreme widths and weights of the program. Within its overarching modern architecture, Artex incorporates modular and symmetrical forms. These specific attributes improve sharpness in static uses and streamlines transitions as a dynamic font. Consequently, Artex develops a distinctive aesthetic that effortlessly attracts attention and makes for easy retention.
Variable fonts are supported by the most recent browsers, but the compatibility with operating systems, applications as well as font management software is still in development. For your print projects, our static fonts are still recommended.
This feature substitutes glyphs with their matching smaller alternates. The numerators are the same glyphs that are used to create fractions, their vertical position remains within the capital letters height. These glyphs are reduced in size and designed slightly heavier to keep them consistent with the rest of the font.
This feature substitutes glyphs with their matching smaller alternates which are set slightly above the height of the capital letters. These glyphs are reduced in size and designed slightly heavier to keep them consistent with the rest of the font.
This feature substitutes glyphs with their matching smaller alternates which are set slightly below the baseline. These glyphs are reduced in size and designed slightly heavier to keep them consistent with the rest of the font.

Sign Generator is part of a study about the principles of latin alphabet, the formal realisation is more a visualisation of the outcome of this research than a definitive aesthetic proposal. Replica on the other hand is a font family that needs to comply to clear typographic goals. We wanted to prove that this was possible even with such reduced means, a bit like a battlefield between calligraphy and construction.
Did you know that the limitation of the 700 grid are not just defined by FontLab but go back to technical limitations in the early days of PostScript and TrueType, which defined the EM square to 1,024 points? Of the 1,024 points, a bit more than 300 are generally used for umlauts on other signs that go over the cap height, resulting in 700 for normal caps. The reason for this limitation lies in the lack of speed and limited amounts of memory of early raster image processors (RIPs) that Adobe licensed to producers of early laser printers so they could support the PostScript standard. These processors could only scale letterforms efficiently if the EM square was based on a power of two. And the less bits were consumed for each coordinate of the outlines, the smaller the total font files were, meaning faster upload to the printer and therefore faster execution. In the meantime these limitations are technically obsolete, but maybe out of lack of interest of the industry, or lack of leverage of the type designers, nothing seems change anytime soon in this respect. How do you feel about such technical limitations? Were they always latently in the way and part of the reason for making them a topic of a whole typeface, or is it easy to work around them? If you had the possibility to change the current typeface standards, what would you do?
I was not aware of the origins of these limitations. The first time I became aware of them was when I switched from the Fontographer software to FontLab. Fontographer allowed the placing of points with a precision of a tenth of a coordinate (350.2, 123.4, etc), which basically meant a grid size of 10,000 points. But when generating the font in PostScript format, the software automatically rounded all coordinates to the standard of 1,000 points, which was fatal for the drawing since it was not really controllable what happened to the anchor points and control points. With FontLab these tenths of coordinate values are not allowed anymore. One cannot draw next to the grid, which is defined in the settings. Replica was drawn with a grid set to 100 points. This raster cannot be ignored when drawing the outlines, it becomes part of the design process, a tedious undertaking. In order to render this hidden concept visible, we have published the Replica specimen booklet, in which these aspects are displayed and thematised.
I also added the following rule-sets to the original .css:body background-color: PapayaWhip;h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, a, li font-family: verdana, sans-serif;pre margin-left: 3%;margin-right: 40%;margin-top: 3%;margin-bottom: 3%;
This versionis more like the first version, with globals. However, the 'global' variables are now contained in the function 'whack_a_katy' and are not in the global scope. The functions that use the globals are also contained within 'whack_a_katy', forming a cohesive collection of actions that access shared variables within the scope of a single containing function. 2ff7e9595c
