Yesterday, we released a collection of Tibetan fonts. https://www.typotheque.com/blog/a-new-collection-of-tibetan-fonts

Typotheque: A new collection of Tibetan fonts

Last year, we released our first fonts for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean — used by more than a billion people across the region. We are equally committed to lesser-used yet culturally significant scripts. Tibetan may not have the global reach of CJK, but it carries immense historical, linguistic, and cultural weight, and we are now pleased to introduce a new collection of high-quality Tibetan fonts.

People perceive thickness of letters very individually, and that’s why we are conducting Font Weight Survey to understand the regional preferences of font weight. Could we ask you for 10 min of your time? The findings will be published publicly once we have some results.

@Centretowner @plantarum Indeed, the question is simply which font speak in a louder voice, not whether it is more suitable for a particular purpose.

Aiming to have really good font prices, that's why we craft them in Robofont! @roberto_arista@typo.social made a neat little tool to translate bezier curves into pricing logic.

@MathieuLommen The diaspora of Armenian printing? Yes, I know. Thought history of printing will be discussed, the focus will be on the contemporary practice.
