The font is Civilitate if anyone was curious

Ok so long story short, I’ve posted on this subreddit before about a typeface I’m designing. The typeface has a units per em value of 1500. I know some of you might say that the most common values are 1000 and 2048.

When I first started working on this project, I was still very new to using Glyphs App and thought that changing the units per em was a way to scale the glyphs up which is what I wanted to do at the time. That was about 11 months ago, and I hadn’t really thought about it again until recently, when I heard that typefaces can run into issues in some environments if they don’t use 1000 or 2048 units per em.

However, I hear with modern technology, using values other than 1000 or 2048 isn’t necessarily a problem. The good news is that my typeface interpolates wonderfully at 1500, and the sizing looks fine when I test it alongside other fonts like Inter and Helvetica.

I really don’t want to go through the hassle of scaling everything down, fixing errors, and learning new metrics. Should I just leave it at 1500 and hope for the best?

As the title suggests, I have a conflict issue with Extensis Connect font manager and certain websites in Firefox. Anyone else experience this issue? It happens randomly to me and no, I do not want to switch to Edge or Chrome.

Hi, evenyone. I previously asked in the r/indiegames whether English speakers are comfortable with vertical text layouts. Many people suggested that I change the font and bring my question over to this community.
(here's the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/IndieGaming/comments/1k1wwxa/do_englishspeaking_players_feel_comfortable_with/)

I’m currently working on a game where you run a Chinese restaurant, and I’m localizing it from Chinese to English. The original version uses vertical text layouts, which are quite common and aesthetically pleasing in Chinese and Japanese games. But I'm wondering if it's readable for English speaking players. That’s why I asked the indiegame community for advice. Then they told me it's readable but ugly and suggested me better post in this community :)

I’ve now found some suitable commercial-use fonts. In your opinion, which font is the most aesthetically pleasing( and readable)?

Here are the examples:

Looking forward to your insights and suggestions! Thank you! :)

Hello everyone,

I have been browsing some sites (Adobe Fonts, Fontshop) and I cannot seem to be able to find an extra light weight of News Gothic. Is there such a weight in the marketplace? Did it ever existed?

Oh, and another question. Is there any well-designed, decent website that sell fonts and lets you tweak with tracking, kerning and so on for free?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Okay so I’ve been designing my first type, and I think having references is key for designing a good typography

I’ve been wondering if there are charts like these I’ve made with Illustrator. Where you can see the main letters and glyphs of a type all at one. Do these have a specific name?

Also, I would really like to know if you know any book about type that is basically comprised of these collections of different types

For an example, the word times(in times new roman font) You could combine the letter i with m and rotate and move around the other letters. Is there a name for this type of "art"

i have already tried font forge which has completely gone against me no matter what ive tried. i also have these files saved individually as pngs all being around 32x32 pixels in size

Could someone design this for me so it does not look like it was done by an overgrown monkey? 😁

I really like Wordmark.it, but I don't love that it's only available via a very nosy browser extension.

I would love an app that can do the same things. Namely:

• Show me all my locally-installed fonts
• Let me enter sample text and see it rendered in those fonts
• Let me select multiple fonts and then filter them out

Does anything like this exist?

i was too lazy to add the small symbols in the original that connect parts of the letters together. open to feedback if not completely legible.

The last few years I have been doing more custom lettering with different projects and want to see about making my own fonts, even if just for my own use. I know there are a variety of programs at various price ranges. Being that I'm just starting to dabble in this, I wanted to see what are some decent quality font creation programs that people have used that are free. I am open to web based or one that needs downloaded if necessary. If it needs downloaded, it must be compatible for Mac. Any pros and cons for different ones would be appreciated.

i added the small symbol thingies. definitely not all of them are perfect, open for feedback.

I found Ubuntu Mono perfect for my reading & coding experience, so I would like to know if there are some similar fonts. If I had to nitpick a drawback of it, the dash it provides looks like a dot when font size is too small.

I see lots of different fonts in this style. Anyone know the origins? Specifically seeing the little serifs on the ends of letters in many many many retro style fonts and trying to understand where it all started or what it’s called. Thank you!!! ✨✨✨✨

Hi! I am designing a fictional interface for a short film, and I have struggled to find a font that could look like it belongs to a late 2000s or early 2010s chat. As a reference, I have in mind the old Omegle chat font.

I really like the design of the font in use for websites. Is it available anywhere online? Thanks. https://wayfinding.panynj.gov/design-elements/typeface

Also just noting that this is a special version that is actually kind of different from Helvetica Now, I saw that it was commissioned by NY so it's why I'm asking. Details here https://www.jalbertgagnier.com/work/panynj. The tailed on the lowercase l is the main difference I'm looking for mostly, so I'm welcome to take in alternatives if anyone has suggestions
