Font development takes time, but even more so when it’s your side hustle between paid projects. I originally started on the New School font on January 12, 2021 - I’m amazed it’s been that long.

Since then it’s been on and off in the works. It’s been expanded significantly, including the new narrow width and its weights. That’s another reason it tends to take a long time, I make the project more ambitious than expected throughout the process. But now it’s almost done, just finishing up the kerning. Hoping to release it by the fall.

But as I’m writing this I’m wondering if I should add a wide width…

New School (WIP font) now has all symbols added! The style is mono weight, adding a nice contrast to the thicker weights. Still some minor adjustments to be done to symbols to incorporate the coherent style and it’s exaggerated ink traps.

The algorithm isn’t easy to please. Honestly don’t know what’s going on sometimes, when a post will only reach 3-5% of my followers. Cursed SEO? A push to pay for promotions? If it doesn’t meet the algorithm demands of engagement the first hour, it seems to be sent to the shadow realm.

Thank you for not even being subtle about all the information you collect on me and sell to advertisers. 🙏

Been working on designing a narrow version for New School (WIP font) for those extra tight spacings! From hairline to thick.

Share your irregular designs! Inconstant Regular has been downloaded more than 1000 times from my web alone, not counting 3rd party sites. Have you put it to use? Regardless if personal or client work, I’m eager to have a look. Use hashtag or tag to share.

Comparison is the thief of joy. A quite that’s over a hundred years old but more relevant than ever, especially with people growing up in the social media age. Don’t undervalue your own achievements because you’re comparing it to others. Focus on your own progression and goals, at your own pace and in the direction suitable for you. Let others inspire but not discourage.
