CNC Type

New article: “What Went Into the Machine and What Came Out” by Tanguy Vanlaeys In this article, Tanguy Vanlaeys revisits the genesis of Milling, a typeface developed at the intersection of typographic design and digital machining. Borrowing its title from type designer Matthew Carter, the text engages with a central question in type design history: what happens between a drawing and its reproduction. With Milling, the focus goes beyond simply addressing technical constraints. The article explores how machining technologies, toolpaths, and single-line formats led the designer to redefine his type design methods and the way letterforms are conceived and produced. Read it on 205.tf Btw, the typeface used for the first slide and captions is Milling Mono (WIP). ⁠ —⁠ #typography #graphicdesign #typedesign #typeface #article #205tf #tanguyvanlaeys #milling @cnc_type

Relief SingleLine, open-source project, release 1.0 now available on GitHub (link in bio). — ‹Relief SingleLine› is a versatile sans serif single-line font with open paths oriented towards CNC (Computer Numerical Control) engraving and fab labs environments. Through its skeletal logic and parametric thickness it can also be useful in print and web environments. The structure of this alphabet is influenced by Adrian Frutiger’s little known and underrated Vectora typeface. — Relief SingleLine is the first single-line font running on Adobe apps (@adobe @adobedesign CC 2019 and above) with kerning and OpenType features. It allows the user to drastically reduce the machining time while offering a quality Bézier curves rendering and precise typography. — Formats: OTF-SVG (@adobe @adobedesign ), SVG (@inkscapeofficial / @evil.mad.scientist ), TTF (Rhino 3D and CAD softwares), OTF and WOFF2 (closed outlines), UFO and Glyphs (sources files) — Applications: plotting, laser, milling, engraving, print, screen, etc. — Contributors: François Chastanet @francois_chastanet (general design and project coordination), Élisa Garzelli @elisa_garzelli & Noëlie Dayma @lafourbe (students from the Graphic Design Department of the Institut Supérieur des Arts et du Design de Toulouse @isdat_fr ), Tanguy Vanlaeys @vnls_tanguy @cnc_type (SVG/TTF production and overall support), Frederik Berlaen @typemytype (export Python script for RoboFont) — #cnc #laser #cncmilling #milling #machining #engraving #axidraw #plotter #singleline #singlestroke #singlelinefonts #strokefonts #otfsvg #svgfonts #typography #typedesign #fablab #toolpath #drawbot #drawbotapp #rhino3D #adobe #adobedesign #adobefonts #inkscape #hersheytext #contemporarytype #365typefaces #tomorrow_featured
