Currently reading The Anatomists Library and noticed that every t after a c has a small flourish. I’ve never seen this before and I can’t find the right keywords to google it. What is the glyph called and what is the significance?

I purchased a website theme from envatomarket for a company I created that never made it past dormancy, a few months into having the website up I get an email from a type foundry that I was using their font and asked if I have the licence.

I looked through the theme I downloaded and couldn't find the licence, however the theme was also taken down (it's now back up and with the same font in there).

I immediately replaced the font then tried contacting the theme creator but they kept circling around avoiding the question about the licence, just saying that theme will be back up in a week and blah blah. Then I replied that I replaced the font and how I got it (with the theme) to this type foundry but they weren't having none of it, kept pushing me to purchase the full package of their font.

Now, they gave me a deadline and threatened legal proceedings, but since the company hasn't made any revenue (never made it past dormancy because it's another one of these "projects" I completely forgot about), am I supposed to just pay for their licence, even though I'm sure besides them, nobody's seen that website.

Also the original theme creator has put the theme back up (updated version but with the same font), so is there a way of directing this towards the theme creator? I have the invoice, contact details and everything to prove that's where I have the font from.

A variable font (Source Sans 3) I want to use has it's default weight set to the lowest. What can I do to set the default weight to be regular? Or if anyone has a variable font file for Source Sans 3 with the regular weight set, I would be happy with that too.

👋🏼 Everyone, I am a junior UI designer trying to learn more about typography and struggling to find resources online. Here is what I have done:

• Studied design systems publicly available from big companies including Google, Adobe, and Shopify.
• Watched multiple YouTube videos that basically all explain the same topics: typographic scale, sans-serif vs serif typefaces, the difference between a font and a typeface.

Here is what I am struggling to understand:

• How to pick a typographic scale and scale it between different viewport sizes: mobiles, tablets, and desktops.
• How do I choose an appropriate line height for my typeface? I know the 4/8pt baseline grid rule for line heights, but many design systems seem to use arbitrary line height values instead.
• What is optical alignment? 😅

Any help would be really appreciated. I am really lost and don't know where to start or what books/blog posts to read. I would just really appreciate anyone pointing me in any direction to learn more.

PS: Sorry if I'm posting this to the wrong subreddit.

If you didn't know already most Android phones can change their fonts.

Some have theme stores with fonts and there are apps that can change the font such as zFont 3 which supports Samsung, Vivo, LG, Huawei, Honor, OnePlus, ASUS, OPPO, Realme, Xiaomi, Tecno, and Infinix devices or #mono_ on Samsung devices.

The ones that don't have themes or apps to change fonts are usually be able to use custom font with root access and a Magisk module.

What do you use on your Android? Let us know.

Sorry for ignorance, I need help to identify the name for fonts that are all CAPS, but the first letter of the word has higher height.

There's an example from font Graduate (Google Fonts):

Just need to know what keywords to use to find another free font of this type that supports higher weights not only 400 (like Graduate).

Thanks.

I have always used this function almost without thinking about it, because it is logical both in theory and in practice. But I have a question, why are the signs ? and ! not aligned when using this function? Because they rarely occur in the text?

So, I was thinking about making a fake front magazine cover, I know that different magazines require different fonts and whatnot. But I am venturing into slightly uncharted territory for me. My attempt is taking a farming magazine (Hobby farm to be specific), then mixing it with quirky magazines like, Bazar (a fashion one) and New York times kidd-y magazines. Yeah. honestly, I'm just throwing shit at a wall to see if I get something cool out of it. Ideally, I use one font family for cohesion, but I’ll be fair typography is not my strong suit and just want to close any gaps in my knowledge.

I'm currently optimizing the homepage of my tool website. To showcase its features, I've prepared some embedded videos. However, I'm torn on how to display these videos with typography.

Currently, there are two formats:

1. highligh feature descriptions with text on one side and displaying showcase videos on the other;
2. introduces the features first and then displays the videos side by side underneath the text.

Which one is better, or you can view my website gees.com, I'm open to suggestions or any better ideas you may have

For example, 'w' could have the right stroke extending higher or 'flick out' more than the other strokes of the letter. If that makes sense 😅 Algerian has it for W and Y but I would like a typeface with some lowercase capability.

Thanks.

Displaying some poems in a gallery — I have frames already, but am unsure of what type of paper to print the poems on. I know I'm leaning towards something matte — I don't want anything too glossy, as the poems would be under a layer of glass already. Not planning on selling them so it doesn't have to be anything super expensive. Frames are 20x10" if that helps!

Hey guys, I am writing my biochemistry senior thesis and wanted to double check about the fonts.

I plan on using Times New Roman for my text font

but since it's harder to read in this font when it's smaller, I thought I should use fonts like Arial or Haveltica.

Is it okay to use different fonts for text vs figures?

​

Thanks.
