  13. @studiomr yep, I have a new 5 weight family. I've also been working with some other designers on 3 new FS fonts which are launching soon! 11:03 AM May 17th via Tweetbot for iOS from Colchester, Essex in reply to studiomr
  14. @pt32_Martin @studiomr with poor kern tables. Personally I always recommend metric. Its the intended spacing for the design by the designer. 10:33 AM May 17th via Tweetbot for iOS from Colchester, Essex in reply to pt32_Martin
  15. @pt32_Martin @studiomr yep most of the time it's down to craft quality but not exclusively. There are still some good designs out there... 10:29 AM May 17th via Tweetbot for iOS from Braintree, Essex in reply to pt32_Martin
  16. @studiomr my main focus is to launch new fonts, it's been a while! 'Ive been 100% bespoke for 2-3yrs now. Done a few uni lectures though. 10:18 AM May 17th via Tweetbot for iOS from Chelmsford, Essex in reply to studiomr
  17. @pt32_Martin @studiomr ... so if the fonts is well crafted, 'metrics' should offer the most crafted solution. 10:00 AM May 17th via Tweetbot for iOS from Havering, London in reply to pt32_Martin
  18. @pt32_Martin @studiomr 'optical' is an Adobe auto generated algorithm which I have found to generate inconsistent kerning pairs... 9:57 AM May 17th via Tweetbot for iOS from Havering, London in reply to pt32_Martin
  19. @pt32_Martin @studiomr ... 'metrics' is the kerning table made by the type designer to work with the fonts default letter spacing... 9:50 AM May 17th via Tweetbot for iOS from London, England in reply to pt32_Martin
