"Unfinished Fonts" #1573

Open davelab6 opened 6 years ago

davelab6 commented 6 years ago

Chatting with @eliheuer and @xuv about @n8willis ideas about what GF hasn't traditionally done, and the lgm 2014 (?) Madrid presentation by @rlafuente and @aiscarvalho, about how many designers have unfinished typefaces on their harddisks that go unpublished because it's a huge amount of work to finish them.

I wonder if we could collect here a new milestone group for such "Unfinished Fonts" and solicit such new publications of them under the OFL

I think this is a great idea. I'll make a new milestone and we'll see what trickles in.

laerm0 commented 5 years ago

Oh wait, I can't make new milestones. :D

felipesanches commented 5 years ago

I love this idea!

eliheuer commented 5 years ago

Yeah, this is a great idea, here are mine, I also have an Optima style variable font drawn in quadratics on my HD that isn't in git yet.

Wow @eliheuer , that's a good stack to start on. I have a handful as well but I'm too possessive to let someone else at them (yet). 😂
