Public Type Works

What it does

Public Type Works helps type designers get paid for the creation of new open source fonts through small pledges from lots of people.

Fonts for the people

Straight edge. Not symbolically, literally. Zero curves. What it lacks in multiple styles it more than makes up for in attitude. Just black (900) for now, but room to grow. Makes absolutely anything you write at least 7x badass. An assortment of alternates and ligatures for fun tweaks, too. The design pulls from two traditions that have no business being this compatible: the gothic geometry of old-world blackletter and the block-stacked dimensionality of 80s and 90s street lettering. The result is something that feels simultaneously ancient and thoroughly now. Utility meets modesty. It’s monospaced and somehow warm, in spite of its name.

  Talanoa▲343

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
