🎉 Here’s a new thing — I made a typeface last year called Chonk! It’s a heavy display sans that likes to take up space. I’ve had fun setting it really big for things like these pulpy sci-fi paperback titles, but it’s surprisingly flexible. As long as what you want to say is loud. Currently a minimal character set, but I didn’t want it to just gather dust. If I add more glyphs, I’ll pass updates along for free. Read more about Chonk and grab it for a few bucks: https://shop.jasonsantamaria.com/products/chonk

@jasonsantamaria@typo.social @tylersticka@social.lol Confession. I haven’t the foggiest notion how to manage fonts since classic Mac OS became OS X. They use to be a local arsenal you owned and shared to get printed, now it’s some sort of web thing? It wasn’t just the web that killed DTP, it was the dominant platform for DTP itself changing. It was like knowing html and you come into work the next day and they are talking about css. Stealth tech paradigm shifts.

@jasonsantamaria@typo.social it was so much easier to find display type (for DTP) in the 90s. Workflow changed so much by the two thousand oughts I stopped being a graphic designer.
