Recent build defaults to alternate characters? #5

Closed djmtype closed 3 years ago

djmtype commented 3 years ago

I don't know if it's my computer, but the recent build looks like an entirely different typeface. Tested: InDesign, Figma, Sketch. The typeface might be falling back to something else?

However, it's previewing fine in RightFont.

I just cleared my font cache. Now RightFont is displaying the same as all the rest. Has this font been redesigned?

Hi @djmtype, yes we're updating the typeface, the one you're seeing is probably an earlier version (with that double storey a).

It's still sleek – different now. But I thought the old version had a bit more character (pun intended). Looking at the lowercase "g", "a", "l" characters and the italicized variants.
