The family Cal.com keeps. Bring it home soon! Here is what I think designers will find most useful about my latest (and greatest) OFL release 🧵 – at Brooklyn, NY
if you havent seen the new cal.com/font page you are missing out!
tons of new sizes, brand new Cal Sans UI font too
the other excellent Mark in fonts – at New York, NY
My website has a new look! It brings back some of the spirit of my original site. It already feels like home to me. Thanks to Scott Kellum, Kelsey Scherer, and Roel Nieskens. Visit marksimonson.com today. While there, you can find the Notebook entry about the update.
Not to be confused with the other Mark Davis in fonts, @mark_e_davis. – at Manhattan, NY
the typography on mercor.com wasn’t doing any lifting, so I swapped in Cal Sans v2 for the whole page, body text included. opsz auto does all the lifting.
“which is older, Times New Roman or Futura?” – at Brooklyn, NY
Type History 📜 Sans-serif type has been around for more than 200 years 👀
One of the earliest commercial examples appeared in an 1816 type specimen from William Caslon IV, long before sans serifs became a staple of modern design #TypeFacts
Would love beta testing on my little side project, font-proofer. I have preloaded cal sans and cal sans flex! – at Brooklyn, NY
I have loaded @pacovitiello’s coss UI library for a typeface UI preview tab. I displayed it using @s3ththompson’s post/paper Infinite Image Grids are Flat Toruses concept for smooth scrolling. – at Brooklyn, NY
hey @shadcn- I made Cal Sans. v2 is out: one variable font, still OFL, with a GEOM axis that lets you choose how different or similar letters are. +wght axis. +opsz axis. Inspired by Geist! cal.com/font – at Brooklyn, NY
…mymind might look better in cal sans text ui! – at Brooklyn, NY
mymind app — iOS v4.0.1
Many things you asked for!
˗ˏˋ NEW ˎˊ˗ SHARE & DOWNLOAD: Every card now has a new "Share or Download" option under the ... menu. It opens the native share sheet which lets you send it to a friend or into another app, copy or download it. Photos, GIFs, videos and PDFs are shared as the original source file, and original resolution.
˗ˏˋ NEW ˎˊ˗SIRI & SHORTCUTS: ask Siri or build a Shortcut to search your mind, save a link, text or file to mymind, or open a space for example.
˗ˏˋ NEW ˎˊ˗ MYMIND CONNECTIONS: We now have an MCP and integrations for Claude, ChatGPT or RayCast and other services. You can find info on how in the settings panel.
˗ˏˋ NEW ˎˊ˗ SERENDIPITY FROM SPACE: You can now start a Serendipity experience straight from a Space (iPhone only). Inside a space, tap the new Serendipity button at the top, and enjoy the wander!
˗ˏˋ NEW ˎˊ˗ NEW ONBOARDING: On iPad, new accounts get the new onboarding (you can re-watch it if you like by choosing "How to use mymind" in the settings panel, only on iPad).
˗ˏˋ NEW ˎˊ˗ SPOTLIGHT: (a new Research Labs feature): turn it on and your cards show up in iPhone search. Tapping a result opens the card.
˗ˏˋ NEW ˎˊ˗ The orange (+) now opens a nicer picker than before (ugly popup gone)
BUGFIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
— Custom app icons: Bookmarker and Student of Life plans now both unlock all the paid membership icons.
— TikTok cards now show their cover image instead of a placeholder.
— Songs now show their album cover pressed onto a disc visual.
— The iPhone app now stays in portrait. Videos can still go full screen landscape.
— Products with a transparent background are now fixed in both light and dark mode.
— "Save to camera roll" and "Download Document" have moved into "Share or download".
— The upload queue now tells you why something is waiting ("Up next", "Trying again at 2:30 PM", "Upload limit reached…") and what's inside (size, tags, spaces, note).
— Smart spaces built on Watched, Read Later, Completed and similar now update right away. Mark a movie as watched and it leaves your "Unwatched" space.
— Searching for a word now also finds notes that link to it by name.
— Articles now show their publisher.
— Copying an image card now copies the full original picture, and faster.
— Opening an image card no longer flashes.
— Tapping a tag inside a card now brings the search bar back to full size.
— YouTube short links (youtu. be) ending in a slash now work.
— Podcast and TV episodes no longer show an "E0" badge.
— Numbers in space names are kept.
— Undo is more reliable, including undoing a deleted space.
— An older Same Vibe, palette or import result can no longer replace a newer one.
— Sync is steadier: fixes to retries and error reporting, and nothing lands in your account after you sign out.
— Fewer hangs and stutters from background work.

Today I'm releasing Type Case, a simple font manager for macOS. With Type Case, you can browse source folders, activate and deactivate fonts, and create custom collections.

I’m finally updating @calcom’s font 5 years later! We now have 6 variable axes (including wght and opsz!).
@Framer’s Open Source collection still has just one style from a month after we shipped in 2021. Who can get this updated for everyone? Build is below 👇 – at Brooklyn, NY
Introducing a curated collection of open source fonts, available to everyone in @framer. Dozens of new display and text fonts—ranging from rounded to monospaced, as well as serifs and sans serifs. Plus, we’ve partnered with Collletttivo to offer their entire collection.

fast to ship, and composed. cal sans v2’s optical sizes do the setting for you.
already out in production, before google fonts has it, probably only second to @calcom and @coss_com
Well done, @staskulesh
Collaborated with @MarkFonts yesterday to improve typography at phot.dev - free digital darkroom with film simulations.
