Typography Weekly #133

“Today we are introducing our new bespoke typeface: Spotify Mix. Spotify Mix replaces the current font used in our in-app and desktop experiences.”

You’re now able to use variable fonts in all Affinity apps. In addition, the typography dialog was converted from a pop-up into a panel so you can easily dock it.

A local authority has announced it will ban apostrophes on street signs to avoid problems with computer systems.

In December the type community was deeply saddened by the early passing of Jan Middendorp. On this April 9th – Jan’s birthday – we share an unpublished talk of him from 2015 ATypI São Paulo.

The update makes Glyphs fully Sonoma-ready, contains significant changes in variable font production and sports hundreds of improvements across all parts of the app.
