🎉 A new thing I made — Citywide, a sans serif typeface inspired by mid-1900s bus roll signs.

It has some real charm, feeling both informal and buttoned up in the same breath. It’s still a work in progress, but already a large family of widths and weights, plus italics.

📕 My book On Web Typography is now free!

It’s 10 years old, and with A Book Apart winding down, I’d like to keep it available for everyone to read. Even though it’s about ever-evolving web typography, the information is still solid — I wrote it to act more as a guide for approaching aesthetics and function, and less about the specifics of code. Enjoy!

Somehow I’ve never heard of Penpot before, a free and open-source alternative to Figma/Sketch. It’s been around for years (!), looks to have a lot of feature parity, and you can even self-host. The internet is just so vast: https://penpot.app/
