Thanks #CSSDay for nerding out about fonts with me!

I mentioned independent foundries and font designers. A few I showed in my talk:

https://arrowtype.com
https://liebefonts.com
https://letterror.com
https://www.typearture.com

And here's a very extensive catalog by @db https://type-atlas.xyz/foundries/

DJR

The type foundry of David Jonathan Ross (DJR), home of the Font of the Month Club. Making fonts such as Fit, Forma DJR, Gimlet, Manicotti, Input, Turnip, Condor, Trilby, Fern, and Output.

More on that calc(1ex - 1cap) trick by @kizu who came up with it: https://blog.kizu.dev/cap-height-align/ #CSSDay

Cap-Height Vertical Align

The new year is here, and, with it, a season where people put out their CSS wishlists for the future. I did already read two of them: December’s CSS wishlist from Sarah Gebauer, and today’s “Tyler’s CSS Wish List for 2024” from Tyler Sticka. One thing caught my attention in Tyler’s list: an ability to vertically align to the middle of the font’s cap-height. I am thrilled to report that there are at least two relatively ok workarounds available in the most recent browsers, courtesy of the new `cap` unit!
