Really proud to release Atencio, a Rubens revival with four weights and a variable axis. It’s a work-in-progress, but I hope it’s useful already!

It’s Naboo. It’s nouveau. It’s Nabouveau.

Happy Friday the 13th! Here’s a blog post detailing various attributes of the M in Atencio, our latest typeface.

Working on a new (old) face with @AurekFonts@indieweb.social
When it comes to naming fonts, something I suspect everyone dislikes doing—
When do you decide to care that another font exists with a desired name? If it is from a foundry you know? If it’s in a major font marketplace? Do you disqualify lower-quality fonts with a desired name? Do you ignore all the “etsy millennial script” fonts that inevitably use every name imaginable? When do you prefix or suffix with your foundry’s abbreviation? When do you say “fuck it” and name it whatever you want anyway?

@maxesnee A+ really great tool, thank you. Also looking forward to OpenType feature mods, specifically for stylistic sets. Love this!!

@klim I don’t know the history behind “National,” but searching “National font” results in a *lot* of fonts that are not Klim’s National. I bet the bulk of them came after 2007, but does that mean you don’t care that much to ensure yours is the only National that exists? I mean, it’s much worse for “Family.” Maybe part of my question is... does this bother you at all? Do these fonts factor into your decision-making?
