Affinity's lack of support for variable fonts has started to impact my work to the point where in order to work around it I would need a Glyphs license to export cuts of typefaces I need to use which is unfortunately a complete waste of my time and money.

I may come crawling back to Adobe yet which makes me... unhappy.

@hank me: *uses either Arial, Comic Sans, or system-ui for absolutely everything* 😎 Absolute picasso.

I would love to pick your brain kn the tradeoffs between typefaces and what this glyph thing even is some time. 🤯 I feel like there's a whole world of fonts I am unable to perceive

@mauve I’ve figured out a workaround for this new WebRecorder logo! Adobe is reportedly shaking in their boots — or at least they would be if they hadn’t bought Figma I guess.

Glyphs is font authoring software, TBH I barely know how to use it but I made a typeface with it once in the before times.

System font stack is underrated but IMO bad for consistency between design & dev? If you don’t need that it can be a good choice. Also check out Comic Neue or Shantell Sans ;P
