Considered this widespread WFH situation, I am planning to arrange a Python For Designers intensive online course starting next Friday. Two classes per week (Mon & Fri, 16:00 GMT+1) for a total of eight classes. I need a minimum of 4 students to start. DM if interested!

Does anyone know why the valid range for font weight values in OpenType (and thus also #variablefonts) is 1–1000 instead of 0–1000? I’d guess it was discussed long ago and/or revisited for the font variations spec, but can’t find any logical explanation.

This new essay by @letterror (of @Superpolator fame) is a simple, illustrated intro to the theory behind “designspace” files used to describe relationships and logic for interpolation with #variablefonts. No advanced tech knowledge required for reading. 🤓

Last year I very much enjoyed being @TypographicsNYC conference. This year’s programme looks strong, and sadly, I won’t be able to make it this year, but we are giving away a free ticket to a student, who wants to go, and have no means. DM me directly. 2019.typographics.com

Know someone who wants to get into #Python but isn't sure where to start? One of the trickiest parts can be getting a python environment running on your own machine 💻 which is why we have decided to dedicate a whole evening to it!🐍
