Ok, here's my leap of faith.
I’m finallly opening my online store with a few fonts and other digital goodies.
For the first 20 customers from Mastodon, here's a an exclusive 50% discount code: TOOTTOOT. I'd appreciate any feedback on the checkout experience and any helpful tips!
Ooh, i should check if Apple have fixed the winding bug in Apple Chancery and Hoefler Text, that they ship with macOS. (background, i have finally upgraded from my 2015 MacBook Pro to an M3 MacBook Air).
haha, no.
Another Wednesday update for my Typewriter B font. https://drj11.itch.io/font-typewriter-b
It now has a lower case, which completes the set of glyphs on the typewriter. I added a sneaky Fediverse Symbol ⁂ too (even though the typewriter doesn't have one)!
It's still undergoing tweaks and so on, so is still on Early Access.
Share and Enjoy!

Thanks @justvanrossum for adding Bengali/ Bangla glyph set to @fontra .
Waiting for fontra to support opentype fully so that Bengali font development can be done on it alone. https://github.com/googlefonts/fontra/pull/2190

Early access release for my monospace typewriter font (from a real borrowed typewriter). Capitals only, and a very few extras: /space (how generous) . : l 1 0 (copies of /l and /O); and for mysterious reasons ⅛ and ⅞ (which are nut fractions on the typewriter, to my surprise)
Free to download. Share and Enjoy!

Gaze, an experimental variable font created in 2022 in collaboration with Yoann Bry.
The goal of this font was to stretch variable type to its limits, for pure animation purposes: lower case becomes upper case, thin type becomes super fat... It was a challenge to make everything interpolate without too much overlap.
Test it out for yourself !

"... and so then take the comma, and use that as a component to create /quotesinglbase
*nods*
... then duplicate that to create /quotedblbase
*nods*
... then shift that up to become the component that creates /quotedblright; this one: ”
*hesitates*
... then rotate that 180° to make /quotedblleft :)
which, using « -> » to mean "has as a component", means /quotedblleft -> /quotedblright -> /quotedblbase -> /quotesinglbase -> /comma

Dug out the original file from my hard drive and finally got around to fix the OpenType features. You don't need to dig in the Glyphs tab of your software to find the fancy alternates and ligatures anymore!

Spoiler: no one cares about your font choice, just use Comic Sans and call it a day.

Let me tell you a small story about how I spend weeks to create few glyphs and AI make the same thing in 4 seconds 
and Why we are irreplaceable by AI

A preview of adding the Fediverse Symbol (⁂) to my WIP colour font. Also, a preview of the Fedi colour scheme, taken from the colours of the other Fediverse Logo. Yes, it's insanely bright.
I am releasing this public-domain/CC0 font based on the drawings in Rudolf Koch’s A Book of Signs. I have called it Koch Up.
Although the repertoire is limited, it has contextual alternates for EFHMPZ and some cross-stream kerning (generally following /R).
It is a little strange to release my whimsical font the same week as Poem releases the beautiful Offenbach, both based on Koch’s work. I hope you enjoy both.

Please Boost and download.
Consider this a Technology Preview. Of my colour self-striping font Sequela (working title). User guide and font files available on the gitlab: https://gitlab.com/drj11/font-sequela
Colours based on Batterberg cake, a Charity Shop Dress, and some Swifty goodness.
Please boost, but avoid large reblogging sites like reddit or lobsters (a proper release is coming soon).
If you try it, i would be interested to hear where you did or did not get it working.
