Gayot New Extremes: license the extreme weights (Thin & Black) and get both for the price of one. A deal some typographers are calling "out of this world" 👽

Designers, typophiles, and deal lovers: get an *extreme*-ly good deal on some fonts. License Gayot New's extreme weights—Thin and Black—for the price of a single weight. BOGO, if you will. 🔠👽

just tried adding swashes to a letter with the pen tool like all those graphic design influencers do and i'm happy to report it looked like shit just like it does in their videos

Two WIP typefaces in varying states of good-ness. The first is a serif with no interesting story (drew an "a" i liked...kept drawing) and the second is my take on Dellacroce Beta (Carl P. Dellacroce, c. 1970) with some alternates and added uppercase.

Stoked to be speaking at #TypeCon2025 about using Blender to make 3D animations and graphics to promote your typefaces! If you'll be in Portland for TypeCon gimme a shout

I think the glass effect looks sick (in Figma, Blender, or otherwise) but having it as a native feature will inevitably lead to it feeling overused extremely quickly (already starting to feel it imo)

🚨my font formerly known as Unie is now called RUBE

I was kindly informed that The Foundry Types has a trademark on the name Unie and a beautiful geo sans under that name. To celebrate not being sued for trademark infringement, I dropped the price of Rube to $12! Go grab it & make something fun!
