Quarterly report
Time for a quarterly report. I’ll list some things I did in the past few months, and retire accomplishments less recent.
Done last quarter
- Shared ideas about new typographic tools with Adobe design leadership. Imagine the previous bullet about algorithms and machine learning, plus my thoughts over at Universal Typography. June 2016
- Talked separately with the Typekit team, Adobe researchers, and Jon Gold (who recently penned a couple of great blog posts), about algorithmic typography and machine learning. June 2016
- Started this blog. Hello world. May 2016
- Called in to Shop Talk Show. Chris and Dave were kind enough to share my thoughts on modular scales and vertical rhythm. May 2016
- Worked on design patterns for Typekit integrations. More about that later this year. April 2016
