Happy birthday @letterformarchive — 10 this year 🎂

For those able to get to San Francisco between now and October, be sure to visit this special exhibition:
letterformarchive.org/news/10-

The exhibition is accompanied by an events programme that unfolds across the year, starting with archive founder Rob Saunders and @stewf discussing the archive's origins and its approaches to collecting objects for public access:

Letterform Archive · 10 × 10 for 10: Ten years of Letterform Archive. One hundred objects of typographic design.We’re celebrating our 10th anniversary with an exhibition of our most beloved artifacts. The show runs April 26 – October 12, 2025.
My first encounter with collage cut lettering. Four exercises from yesterday’s workshop with Francis Chouquet. A small exclusive group of people having a great time with knives, glue and coloured papers. We were encouraged to work intuitively without designing or planning. The purpose was to create organic and flowing letters. With too much perfection, the work looses its spontaneity and dies. And I completely relate to that. In my work in general, I always embrace intuition and spontaneity, the thing called automatic drawing/painting etc.

#Fediverse, I need your help again!
tl; dr: I need a font maker software!

I'd like to convert my handwriting into a font for my research output, as I'd like to maintain my personal handwriting in my sketchnotes but I'd like the written notes to be text.
I'm already very familiar with vector graphics and lettering but never made a font so would love an open source/free font design software to start.

Ruben Suprapto Sukonto, theater programs, Semarang, Indonesia, ca. 1931–34.

SN stands for Sine Nomine [Latin: without a name], which was a student organization at a school in Semarang.

We’d love to know more about this artist, who was perhaps influenced by Hendrik Wijdeveld (posting tomorrow), but with a style all their own. See the six pamphlets in the Online Archive: oa.letterformarchive.org/?dims
