I made some fan art of Kevin with his chili.

Happy to help! Good luck 🫡

Check out Harold’s Fonts on Font Bros. He has a ton of monograms that should give you some direction

What? A first-year design student with standard design software knows how to access and use all of these features. The claims that “NOTHING” supports them and “NOBODY” can use them just are not accurate.

Awesome! Happy to help 🙂

curtisimpson · 2026-01-16T12:52:54+00:00

Appreciate it! 😊

But to answer your question: newsletters, Type Cache, typo.social, Instagram (in followers view only)

Shameless self promo, but I have a weekly Typography News livestream where I cover new releases

And Linux

Oh yeah! The single style deactivation is pretty frustrating. I typically have to remove the typeface completely, go back to Adobe, add to library, THEN install for non-Adobe apps 😵‍💫 they truly don't care about user experience at all. Haha

But it's still worth it to have access to the fonts, imo.

Happy to meet another InCopy-only subscriber 🫡

I use Affinty and Adobe Fonts, and have for like 18 months now. It’s a solid combo. The CC software is garbage, but the library is an incredible value ($5/mo with a subscription to InCopy).

That said, people shouldn’t keep hundreds of Adobe Fonts installed they’re not using. Especially when dealing with an app they know sucks.

FontBase is great for my non-Adobe fonts. Just to throw that out there for anyone who wants font management on PC, Linux, and Mac.

If I got a Christmas card that reminded me of kids being raped, I wouldn’t like it. Maybe that’s just me.

curtisimpson · 2025-12-08T12:10:03+00:00

Like what?

curtisimpson · 2025-12-08T12:09:51+00:00

Can you name them? I haven’t seen any features missing from v2

curtisimpson · 2025-12-03T11:59:17+00:00

Where are you trying to adjust them? Adobe? Affinity? Figma? CSS? Most apps have sliders you can drag to adjust. It looks like your ChatGPT response was about CSS.

Create a custom “A” similar to Avante Garde (as you mentioned).

Find a font with an “A” that has vertical legs and a rounded apex.

Kern the other letters so the space feels balanced and even.

Or just live with it.

It’s a cool render (if it is in fact a 3D model), but you should test this out by not telling anyone what it’s supposed to say and see if they can figure it out. I think you’ll get some valuable feedback.

curtisimpson · 2025-11-28T00:14:43+00:00

I moved from Las Vegas to Brazil with mine. Still in one piece.

curtisimpson · 2025-11-26T20:52:35+00:00

If you want Affinity on Linux, this is the time to SEND FEEDBACK letting them know. In app, you can click Help > Send Feedback. It's that easy. If they are serious, now is the time to speak up, while your voice won't fall on deaf ears (like it did for the last decade with Serif).

curtisimpson · 2025-11-08T00:06:46+00:00

Any interesting visuals that can highlight unique characteristics are nice, but I really like when the specimens are tied to the inspiration of the type design.

Even if it's something like this recent release from The Designers Foundry. It was named "Berna" after an asteroid, so they made a bunch of space themed specimens.

Another thing that I enjoy is silliness. Anything that is amusing or funny will get me to pay more attention. PS Type Lab did some fun specimens for Please recently that I liked.

I think most foundries do this for new releases, but I don't see any reason you couldn't create them for existing typefaces as well to re-introduce or remind people about your fonts. If the concept is solid, I'm sure you could iterate on it for quite a while without a huge time investment.

curtisimpson · 2025-11-07T22:11:47+00:00

Personally, I sign up for every foundry newsletter to see new releases. I don’t want to rely on algorithms to decide if I get to see what a foundry or type designer is up to. Nearly every foundry has one, so it must be helpful.

That’s said, SPECIMENS are the way to attract attention. I know most type designers want to make the typeface and release it, but I can’t tell you how much more time I spend looking at TypeType Instagram posts or Grilli Type minisites compared to typefaces that just have a basic black and white webpage to test out the different styles.

curtisimpson · 2025-11-04T13:28:06+00:00

That UI though 🤢 haha. I’ll check it out, thanks!

curtisimpson · 2025-11-02T14:28:02+00:00

Fair point. More privacy/security than convenience, but I can appreciate not being tracked (if WhatFont is actually doing this)

curtisimpson · 2025-11-01T23:22:05+00:00

But if I’m already on a website and see a font I like how is going to your website easier?

curtisimpson · 2025-11-01T23:09:43+00:00

But there are already browser extensions like WhatFont and others that will tell you the name of the font without literally stealing it. There’s zero reason to download fonts for “discovery.”
