- HEX Franklin got a nice mention in the latest edition of @robinrendle’s newsletter (buttondown.email/adventures/arc…) after he used the variable font for his essay, “In Praise of Shadows” (robinrendle.com/essays/in-prai…). Glad to see the big quotation mark ornaments from the fonts getting used.
- ✨NEW FONTS✨ HEX Franklin has been upgraded to version 0.2, with much more character support, plus an early ‘Tyght’ variable font that allows for extra-tight display spacing without the need for manual user kerning tweaks. Available now at @futurefonts: futurefonts.xyz/hex/hex-frankl…
- Hot font take: Sometimes symbols like ® don’t need to get heavier in bold styles the way other glyphs do, and instead of getting narrower in condensed styles they can just get smaller.
- A new website with info about font subsetting, typeset entirely in the new HEX Franklin type family (delivered as a single variable font file).This post is unavailable.
