I’m happy to announce that I’ve decided to open source a large portion of of my font development code repository. This batch of code includes core libraries for building font development applications, FontLab scripts and one full fledged application. At last count it was around 25,643 lines of Python code.

Why am I doing this? I really care about type design. It is what I love. I don’t just love doing it myself, I love seeing other people produce excellent typefaces. So, hopefully this will help people do good work.

The code is housed at code.typesupply.com.

Enjoy.

Hello World.

With the launch of the new Type Supply website I’ve decided to turn this site into a blog. Yes, I’m finally jumping into the year 2001.

So, here I am. I tend to be shy, secretive about my work and more interested in listening than talking. However, every now and then I do have something to say. I plan on talking about things that I know well: type design, graphic design and type technology. I hope you’ll find it interesting.
