Restock by No-Code Supply Co. | Ep. 05 | Not My Type


Typography is the foundation of web design, and it deserves more than a last-minute font pick. Nathan Huening joins to cover the fundamentals: letter anatomy, typefaces vs. fonts, type foundries, variable fonts, and why starting with type means starting with the message. There's also a typography quiz, a roundup of font tools and resources worth bookmarking, and a look at what great magazine typography still has to teach the web.


Before the type talk: the barefoot developer movement and what it means to build software for a small audience, or just yourself. The tools available right now change the question from "can I build it?" to "what will I build?" and that's worth thinking through.
