@fontstand If you could pass the word regarding the next EsadType call for applications (https://esad-amiens.design/fr/articles/esadtype-2026-28-appel-a-candidatures-call-for-applications) that would be much appreciated!
There are moments in life when you meet the right people at the right time. Meeting James Mosley and Michael Twyman in 2007 at the University of Reading confirmed me in the path I continue to follow today. Their work and their writings will always guide me.

Thank you @fontstand@typo.social for a flawless conference.
Happy to share the Evert Bloemsma project with @martinmajoor@typo.social & Jaap van Triest (thanks @kupfers@mastodon.social for the impeccable moderation), happy to be with many @esadtype@mastodon.social alumni, students and colleagues @typemytype@typo.social & @hugues@typo.social, happy to meet old and new friends (especially @fhardwig@mastodon.social).
See you next year!
'It’s just sad to me, really, the way people are devaluing everything with AI. I mean, we’re here. We’re humans on Earth. That’s the fun of it, being a human that doesn’t know everything and trying things out, experimenting and exploring. Being able to do everything without any effort is not fun.'
