Afacad upgrade about afacad HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi @ktkm,

After discussions and tests, we decided to onboard a new family, with a slant axis.
We will need to find a new name. Can you give me 2 or 3 proposition (or maybe only one if you know exactly how you want to call it :) ). I'll discuss this with my colleagues tomorrow.

Thanks!

Just to clarify, would the new family have the full spectrum from “back-slant” to “plain” to “Slant”?
Yes, it will look like something like this:

Excellent, thank you, I'll submit these names to my colleagues and I'll let you know :)

Hi @ktkm! I started to work on it, but I have some other projects that are coming before. I'll let you know :)

from afacad.

You’re right. A new family on GF seems more plausible.

Oh, and I have some small updates for the Black Masters—mostly kerning. Should I wait until you have the exports under control?

from afacad.

Yes feel free to add the modifications directly in your repo. I'm making some tests locally! thanks :)

Hello @emmamarichal ,

Just to clarify, would the new family have the full spectrum from “back-slant” to “plain” to “Slant”?

In that case, I can think of two short naming schemes in my order of interest:

1. Afacad Flux (historical/scientific) -- “Flux”, or the flow of liquids, and relates to historical cartography, where rivers were marked with the back-slanted type.
2. Afacad Slant (function/axis name) -- “Slant” is perhaps more descriptive of what to expect.

Cheers!

Nice! What software is doing the interpolation in your demo?

from afacad.

Hi @ktkm, we chose "Afacad Flux". I'll review the files and export the font. I'll send you a PR soon!

Ah, good news! Thank you @emmamarichal !
