Become a sponsor to Erik van Blokland
I make typefaces and tools to make typefaces. It is a small industry, so it is necessary to work on our own tools, formats and infrastructure. You can see my design work on LettError.com and my (past) interpolation tools on Superpolator.com. I make smaller and bigger extensions for the RoboFont editor. I teach type design at the TypeMedia master at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
This account is for my own projects such as MutatorMath - an early implementation of multidimensional interpolation for type, generating UFOs with MutatorMath or VarLib with UFOOperator, a formal description and detector of problems with designspacesDesignspaceProblems, a toy to get started with sketching and drawing: TypeCooker.
This is a useful project together with Frederik Berlaen: GlyphNameFormatter: a thing that generates glyph names for Unicode characters.
Robofont extensions: SymmetricRoundShapeDrawingTool, EditThatNextMaster and DesignSpaceEditor2
A lot of people contribute to the RoboTools and it needs its own sponsor account. Robotools is the central hub that maintains important packages such as FontParts, Defcon and Vanilla
