Can’t tell Unicode from a unicorn? Think Stylistic Sets are a Philadelphia soul group? This session is for you. It’s about finding those elusive glyphs, getting the most out of Adobe Fonts, understanding those obscure OpenType features, as well as knowing when and why to use specialist fonts like Variable or Color Fonts. You’ll even learn how to create beautifully styled fractions using OpenType’s automatic fraction feature (and what to do when OpenType fails you).
Key takeaways:
- Learn the untapped potential of OpenType and Variable fonts
- Exploring glyphs, pi fonts, and Unicode
- Add an elegant flair to your type through swashes, ligatures, and style sets
