Next week at ILT's Fonts & AI conference: presenting research on systematic approaches to sequential font representation for AI.
How skeleton type design methodology creates better datasets for transformer-based models.

Just published a case study on our site about how Ghanaian street poster lettering became a Google Font. David Abbey-Thompson's work on Ga Maamli is a brilliant example of preserving vernacular design digitally, making it worth sharing for anyone interested in how culture shapes typography.

I am wondering, why some of the copies has a blue background and some of them are white.
We've changed how LTTR/INK is priced - now you decide what to pay.
Starting today, our typographic stroke engine is available on a "pay what you can" basis, with subscriptions from just €25/year.
This is a trial until the end of 2025, when we'll decide whether to keep this model.

In the past few days, I've been refreshing my portfolio, which features UX Case studies and my recent doctoral work, as well as my tinkering.
The main part of the refreshment involved converting from Figma pages into a static site generator, Pelican https://getpelican.com/, and hosting it on https://code.nolog.cz/

As the last warmth of summer fades and autumn begins to creep in, I wanted to share some news with you all.
I've just published my doctoral thesis on machine learning for font generation https://lttrface.com/doctoral-thesis.
Along with it, I've included the dataset https://lttrface.com/lttrset so you can train your own model if you fancy, plus a font tester with fonts I've generated https://lttrface.com/ai-font-tester.
I know this might sound rather technical, but it's been quite the journey getting here—if you've got questions or just want to chat about it, please do reach out.
I'm here for all the nerdy font conversations you might want to have!
The whole project is now up on the LTTR/FACE website https://lttrface.com/.
It felt right to bring it back to where it all began, giving the site a fresh update in the process.
👉 With this major piece of work behind me, I'm currently looking for some part-time gigs.
If you know of anything in the development of type design tools, web development, experimental graphics, or UX design, I'd be keen to hear about it.
Drop me a line if you have something I might be able to help with, or just to say hello.
