I have brought a bunch of specimens (Avory, SkSans) and posters (Adapter and Adapter World) with me. Find me at the @fontstand@typo.social conference if you want some (for free).

Pretty much reflects my reasoning why I won’t be going to the ATypI conference in the US. Paying little attention to the conference for years, I have made an exception last year and applied (you know, Stanford etc.). My proposal was selected (for which I am grateful and honoured), so I am hoping, it will be possible to present virtually.

The Checker app now runs new automatic font tests:
• mark & accent positioning • positional alternates (e.g. Arabic joining forms) • common conjuncts used for syllable formation (beta testing this with Devanagari/Hindi, more coming soon) + • new sorting options and design requirements

Here is what’s new in the Database app:
• new sorting options for navigating language lists, • improved design requirement descriptions (personal fave 😍), • sources for every language, showing where the data comes from, • shaping checks (beta, first few) required for each language.

Hyperglot is now split into two dedicated apps:
• Database — explore language support requirements • Checker — test your fonts against those requirements
Separating the tools makes them clearer, faster, and easier to use depending on whether you’re researching languages or testing a font.
