We've changed how LTTR/INK is priced - now you decide what to pay. Starting today, our typographic stroke engine is available on a "pay what you can" basis, with subscriptions from just €25/year. This is a trial until the end of 2025, when we'll decide whether to keep this model.

In the past few days, I've been refreshing my portfolio, which features UX Case studies and my recent doctoral work, as well as my tinkering. The main part of the refreshment involved converting from Figma pages into a static site generator, Pelican https://getpelican.com/, and hosting it on https://code.nolog.cz/ Check it out

Along with it, I've included the dataset

LTTR/SET — Regularised Type Design Dataset

LTTR/SET — a font dataset that uses regularised data of type designers’ drawings to train models that are useful for type design practice.

so you can train your own model if you fancy, plus a font tester with fonts I've generated

It felt right to bring it back to where it all began, giving the site a fresh update in the process. 👉 With this major piece of work behind me, I'm currently looking for some part-time gigs. If you know of anything in the development of type design tools, web development, experimental graphics, or UX design, I'd be keen to hear about it. Drop me a line if you have something I might be able to help with, or just to say hello. #TypeDesign #WebDevelopment #GraphicDesign #UXDesign #FreelanceWork #PartTimeGigs
