Description
Nunito is a well balanced sans serif typeface superfamily, with 2 versions: The project began with Nunito, created by Vernon Adams as a rounded terminal sans serif for display typography. Jacques Le Bailly extended it to a full set of weights, and an accompanying regular non-rounded terminal version, Nunito Sans. Alexei Vanyashin added Cyrillic Extended to Ninito Sans and soon the new version will be available through Google Fonts.

New Rubrik and its sibling New Rubrik Edge stand out in the typographic firmament. Miles Newlyn drew a sans serif with simplified letterforms by eliminating the spurs — the little extensions where curved strokes meet stems. The clean junctions lend the typefaces a sleek, modern look popular in branding, packaging, wayfinding, and environmental graphics—any situation calling for a forward-thinking typographic style. New Rubrik combines the best of both worlds: its techy, futuristic appearance is softened by rounded stroke endings, making it warm and personable. New Rubrik Edge was designed by request to be the somewhat cooler and more technical companion of New Rubrik. While the Edge styles bear square stroke endings, Newlyn kept corners blunt and slightly bulbous to maintain the flavor of the original design.
Warmer, cooler: New Rubrik Edge was commissioned as an edgier companion to New Rubrik, a smooth, simplified sans with rounded stroke endings.
Both New Rubrik and New Rubrik Edge’s linguistic range have expanded significantly with the addition of Cyrillic, potentially making the families accessible to a quarter of a billion additional users. Newlyn brought Alexei Vanyashin on board to collaborate on the project; Leo Philp provided technical assistance. Vanyashin expertly tapped into Newlyn’s artistic vision to create a comprehensive Cyrillic counterpart to the existing Latin alphabet. Both New Rubrik and New Rubrik Edge now support all languages written in the Cyrillic script, including language-specific forms and Newlyn’s signature Accessibility Set.
Easy on the eyes (and brain): New Rubrik default (top) and with the OpenType Accessibility Set switched on (bottom).
But the new New Rubrik and New Rubrik Edge are about much more than language expansions. The technical improvements resulting from Type Network’s relentless quality assurance process represent an equally important part of this release. All fonts coming to Type Network are rigorously tested by Jill Pichotta, assisted by David Jonathan Ross and CJ Dunn. The QA process helps to reveal design flaws and technical hiccups, and Pichotta’s analysis inspired Newlyn to revisit the two families. This entailed not only a complete redraw—changing the x-heights and cap heights, and adjusting ascenders and descenders—but also respacing and rekerning all of the fonts. Newlyn also decided to make tabular numerals the default figure style, having discovered that most users preferred them. “I invested the time, because it’s a fairly unique design in the marketplace. Very few typefaces come close,” Newlyn said.
Like all Newlyn fonts, New Rubrik and New Rubrik Edge are available for print, web, applications, and ePub licensing. Webfonts may be tested free for thirty days. To stay current on all things Newlyn, subscribe to Type Network News, our occasional email newsletter featuring font releases, foundry happenings, type and design events, and more.

Miles Newlyn
Miles Newlyn graduated from St Martins College of Art, London, in 1991. He first released Missionary, Sabbath Black, and Democratica through Emigre, and then designed a set of six typefaces for David Carson to use in Raygun. Newlyn quickly appropriated many of his ideas to the corporate sector, branding in particular. After some some years working with London agencies, and Wolff Olins in particular, he developed a style termed ‘white occult’, a blend of meta-organic forms and hi-tech typography. Newlyn continues to explore and expand this vision, and utilizes the results for corporate clients worldwide.

Pablo Impallari
Pablo Impallari is a self taught type designer, still learning through books, blogs, forums & detailed observation, with the help of friend and colleagues. He thinks that typefaces are living beings, they always continue to evolve over time. Even if the original designer died over 500 years ago, contemporary designers push their ideas forward, adapting to changing technology and keeping up with the always shifting way we perceive the alphabet. Pablo continues to actively design and release his own typefaces and help other designers learn and publish new fonts.

Description
Rawline is your beloved Raleway font with lining numerals as default.
Rawline now supports 105 latin languages, including igbo onwu and vietnamite, russian cyrillic (default) and bulgarian cyrillic (OpenType feature) – contribution by @cssobral2013.
Raleway is an elegant sans-serif typeface family. Initially designed by Matt McInerney as a single thin weight, it was expanded into a 9 weight family by Pablo Impallari and Rodrigo Fuenzalida in 2012 and iKerned by Igino Marini.
It is a display face and the download features both old style and lining numerals, standard and discretionary ligatures, a pretty complete set of diacritics, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired by more geometric sans-serif typefaces than its neo-grotesque inspired default character set.
It also has a sister family, Raleway Dots.
60 Cyrillic languages | Кириллица
Raleway Fonts v.3.000 included core Cyrillic support for 17 languages in Roman styles. Core Cyrillic glyphs were drawn by Pablo Impallari in 2013.
In August-September 2016 (Raleway v.4.000) existing Cyrillic was redrawn and expanded for both Roman and Italic by Alexei Vanyashin and Ivan Petrov (Cyreal) to support 60 Cyrillic languages.

SVG Cleaner is the main GUI for svgcleaner. This GUI adds support for: Batch files processing; Parallel cleaning jobs; SVGZ decompression and compression via 7-Zip and Zopfli; Tooltip with brief help for each cleaning option.
Scour is an SVG optimizer/cleaner that reduces the size of scalable vector graphics by optimizing structure and removing unnecessary data written in Python.
It can be used to create streamlined vector graphics suitable for web deployment, publishing/sharing or further processing.
The goal of Scour is to output a file that renderes identically at a fraction of the size by removing a lot of redundant information created by most SVG editors. Optimization options are typically lossless but can be tweaked for more agressive cleaning.
Scour is open-source and licensed under Apache License 2.0.
Scour was originally developed by Jeff “codedread” Schiller and Louis Simard in in 2010. The project moved to GitLab in 2013 an is now maintained by Tobias “oberstet” Oberstein and Eduard “Ede_123” Braun.

Steminterpolation is a Java Swing application which helps you to calculate the stem widths for a font family from thin to black.
The program is being developed in NetBeans with OpenJDK and is based on a discussion from a TypeDrawers thread. The executable JAR file can be found inside the dist folder.
The AFDKO is a set of tools for building OpenType font files from PostScript and TrueType font data.
This repository contains the data files, Python scripts, and sources for the command line programs that comprise the AFDKO. The project uses the Apache 2.0 OpenSource license.
Please refer to the file AFDKO for a more detailed description of what is included in the package.
These character sets are informative, not normative. They are guidelines. We reserve the right to update, modify, replace or withdraw them at any time without prior notice.
The Unicode standard is continually evolving, and for this reason these character sets are not set in stone. The likelihood of the larger charsets to be changed is greater than that of the smaller ones. For instance, it’s unlikely that AL1 or AL2 will ever change, but AL3 and above have changed since they were first defined — the original version of AL3 didn’t include the turkish lira nor the ruble. Also, a change in the smaller charsets naturally triggers a change in the larger ones.
We consider AL5 an open-ended set. Additions to it may be the result of 1) changes in AL4 and below, 2) additions to Unicode that have a direct relationship to characters already supported, 3) requests and recommendations from external parties/sources, 4) internal decisions, and 5) eventual bug fixes. The AL1 thru AL4 sets are definitely less volatile and any changes to them go thru a stricter vetting process. Any new characters that we decide to support for which there’s no strong justification to attach to AL1-4 end up added to AL5.

This script will draw the complete range of Box Drawing Characters and Block Elements in the font editor of your choice.
The design of those characters is based on a handful of parameters, which can be changed in the script file itself. Feel free to create Box Drawing Characters that are longer than usual; exceedingly wide, fat (both?); or hairline-thin.
Time was spent to make this script compatible with the triumvirate of commercial font editing applications; this means that this script will run in RoboFont, Glyphs, and even FontLab without any modifications (Glyphs support experimental).
You can even run the script straight from the command line, which will generate a new UFO file right to your desktop.
TypoPRO is a carefully hand-selected collection of freely usable professional fonts for use in Desktop Publishing (DTP), on Websites and especially inside Web-based Desktop or Mobile Applications. Currently, TypoPRO consists of 1407 individual fonts of 164 font families. The fonts in total span a very wide range of font types, font styles, font weights and font variants. This way, TypoPRO provides a magnitude of typographic possibilities with just a minimum number of font families.
How to publish your local project on GitHub using command line
I have been currently learning how to use Git using the command line. Git is one of the most popular version control systems (VCS) and if you use any kind of VCS for your development, I am sure you should be familiar with the benefits of using Git.
Along with Git, another useful platform that enhances the code sharing abilities and remote working possibilities is GitHub – a popular Git repository hosting service. Using Git and Github can be an essential skill to learn if you want to write code, work in a group, and contribute to open source software such as WordPress.
fontTools is a library for manipulating fonts, written in Python. The project includes the TTX tool, that can convert TrueType and OpenType fonts to and from an XML text format, which is also called TTX. It supports TrueType, OpenType, AFM and to an extent Type 1 and some Mac-specific formats. The project has a MIT open-source licence. Among other things this means you can use it free of charge.
HT Letterspacer is a tool for spacing fonts, that works on finished fonts as well as during development. The first public version works as a macro for Glyphs and uses that application’s glyph categories and subcategories feature, but the method is adaptable to any editor or programming language.
TypeRig (.\Lib\) is a Python library aimed at simplifying (to some extent) the current FontLab VI API while offering some additional functionality that is heavily biased towards a simultaneous multi-layered workflow. TypeRig GUI (.\Scripts\TypeRig GUI) is a collecton of GUI centered tools representing functionality found in the library. Currently there reside: TypeRig Panel (typerig-panel.py) – a floating side panel combining the following tools listed below. New tools will be added on plugin-basis by just dropping the updated or new tabs as .py files in .\Scripts\TypeRig GUI\Panel sub-folder.
A simple CLI tool for generating sample strings from a UFO file and dictionary input.
You can use this tool when creating a preview specimen of a typeface and require words from different sources and with specific widths, all the while cross-referencing available characters from your UFO file.
