WE MADE IT! Thanks to the generosity of 48 fantastic community members, we successfully funded our first crowdfunding attempt to support indigenous writing scripts. @tulseytype is already deep in the work on a series of Cherokee fonts and documentation articles. Thank you 🙏

Why might fluency in the design of a given script be important, and how can immersion help? Chris Skillern takes us on an journey of “Immersion: Reflections on Fluency From a Cherokee Type Designer’’ at #TypeCon2023: Portland. @tulseytype #typecon #speaker #conference

It’s been fun, Twitter! See you on the other side (Instagram and https://t.co/ZqzK0NQrae, I guess)!

Sure feels like Twitter is imploding, and just as I was building up a nice pile of tweets! Anyway, I have the same username on every platform: Instagram, https://t.co/ZqzK0NyPLE (Mastodon), Substack. Find me those places, and also here, as long as it lasts!

Always finding reasons to add extra characters to in-progress fonts, because then I can use them in that presentation I'm supposed to be finishing up.

I have no idea what will happen to Twitter, but regardless, we should all be less reliant on these platforms we don't control. I'm hanging around, but I'd also love to keep up with you through my newsletter (which I'm starting soon, I promise)!

The cool thing about returning to a part of the design space you haven't looked at in awhile is that sometimes you find you've drawn more of the light weight than you remember.
