Bluesky friends! Please check out my website builder temper.one, my web design gallery collected.li, and my type foundry jonastype.com! ✌️
I foolishly used to think font licensing was so complicated because nobody put enough work into improving the system. I now understand that every type publisher is constantly working on this, and there’s just no clear or easy solutions.

After providing design consultation for Applix last year, a tech company building AI tools for manufacturing optimization, I was recently hired to design and develop a new landing page for them.
It now serves as a foundation for the client to independently build additional subpages.

Last week I had the pleasure of giving a workshop on “Web Typography with HTML & CSS” in the Master’s program in Design at FH Potsdam.
It was an exploration of what’s possible when you treat CSS not just as an implementation method, but as a design tool for typographic experimentation.

Since releasing the first style of my Indicate Mono typeface on a pay-what-you-want basis (including a free option), people have been posting it to lots of free font sites.
I have no idea how far it’s spread or how people are using it — there’s no way to track that.

I don’t care too much about that AI company it’s made for, but this visual identity is a piece of beauty. Except those angular corner things maybe, not sure what to make of those.

Can someone recommend a hosting provider in the US? I’m just looking for a basic shared hosting plan, with PHP support and the option to connect an existing domain. Nothing fancy.
