Absolutely! We document where the reader learned to read, and eventually want to conduct a similar study for various writing scripts.

People perceive thickness of letters very individually, and that’s why we are conducting Font Weight Survey to understand the regional preferences of font weight. Could we ask you for 10 min of your time? The findings will be published publicly once we have some results.

Terrassa Display and Gradient both contain five variable axes. We considered providing traditional static fonts, but that would produce over 10,000 variations, which would overwhelm your font menu. Instead, we deliver Terrassa Display and Gradient as variable fonts. typotheque.com/fonts/terrassa
