While learning more about the Hangul script at @blackfoundry, I made a little webpage that allows you to navigate the huge character set by selecting Jamos. You can also drop a font (that supports Hangul) on the page. Maybe it is useful for others, too.

Lowands Festival is this weekend. I coded graphics, typography and fonts for the identity, with @HansjeVanHalem, @Kersenpit and @fabrique. This headline uses a font with some alternate glyphs, animated with a tiny amount of JavaScript. And it’s still text! @Rapid_Razor_Bob

@rosettatype @jenskutilek It seems to depend on how the nuts are numbered. For example, these are two distinct solutions to a differently numbered set of nuts.

@jenskutilek Unless I messed up, it seems there is one unique solution (and 5 equivalent rotated solutions).
Here is some poorly documented code: gist.github.com/justvanrossum/…

This seems to be a Safari bug. <span> also breaks shaping there. From left to right FF, Chrome, Safari. Interesting to see that FF does the color transition *within* the ligature. @Litherum, is this being tracked? Or perhaps has been fixed? (I'm not on the latest macOS.)

I finally managed to watch @FreyaHolmer’s video about (the math behind) Bézier curves. It is truly fantastic, with great explanations and visualisations. Its 1M (!) views are well deserved.

@reykjaviktype Thanks, that sounds cool. I'm not afraid of the code, though, and I've found the tutorials of this guy immensely useful: youtube.com/watch?v=rIO532…
No nonsense, compact, yet super informative 👍
