I didn’t knew the process was reversible, also I want that Star Wars poster now lol npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho @nprofile…j074 ahahahaha fair enough, I was wondering, how does poster preservation work? npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho @nprofile…j074 interesting…looking at it I definitely thought it was Vignelli npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho @nprofile…j074 OH, that’s interesting npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho @nprofile…j074 that’s a beauty npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho @nprofile…j074 @nprofile…uju4 have fun!! I do love my Resistenza socks aswell :) npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho @nprofile…uvqd oh I was assuming that was already a must, but I get what you mean, what about the stuff you print for testing, do you archive it in some way? Or do you just not bother with printing proofs at all? npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho Do you have an archive for the proofs you print when you’re developing your typefaces? npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho @nprofile…uvqd you’re right! Strangely enough one of the reasons I like type design is because of how slow of a process it can be, so I may be one of the few that actually enjoys processes like kerning and looking at proofs for a few hours :) npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho I’m really happy with the fact I’m now starting the end stages of developing the first weight of my typeface, can’t wait to get started with kerning (said no one ever lol). npub1sxpzm55wrqvk8r27jes9g2z6xwhsyc8ked2yy6s6gl4aezjek5nqz74tya Hugo Carvalho @nprofile…w44f all I can say is brilliant!
