      Give us some credit

      Larger teams and more complex work are moving type design toward more thorough crediting systems. But it’s only partially about the system and more about honouring the often unknown ones investing their considerable skills into producing the fonts we use and love. TypeTogether has begun making improvements in this area. What considerations were taken into account and what conclusions have been reached thus far?
