Typofix: Harmonizing Typography Across Europe’s Languages
If anyone should school us on typography rules, it's Filip. Back for his second TYPO appearance, he's unveiling Typofix – an ambitious open-source database of typographic rules covering all 24 EU languages. This smart web application helps both public users and institutions catch typographic slip-ups before they happen.
When not fine-tuning digital typography, Filip authors Typokniha and shapes young minds at UMPRUM and ARCHIP.
