Happy Friday the 13th! Here’s a blog post detailing various attributes of the M in Atencio, our latest typeface.

Really proud to release Atencio, a Rubens revival with four weights and a variable axis. It’s a work-in-progress, but I hope it’s useful already!
When it comes to naming fonts, something I suspect everyone dislikes doing—
When do you decide to care that another font exists with a desired name? If it is from a foundry you know? If it’s in a major font marketplace? Do you disqualify lower-quality fonts with a desired name? Do you ignore all the “etsy millennial script” fonts that inevitably use every name imaginable? When do you prefix or suffix with your foundry’s abbreviation? When do you say “fuck it” and name it whatever you want anyway?
It’s Naboo. It’s nouveau. It’s Nabouveau.

So cool that Font Book lets you search by designer (even formats it as a token!) but so uncool that it doesn't let you make a smart collection with that same data.
Was not the entire purpose of making "smart" folders and stuff in macOS (back in the days of ...what, Panther, Tiger?) to make *searches* into *smart folders* ??
