Hadn’t thought about the “Font Forging Industry” website in years until today, and it’s even more bonkers than I remembered. It’s like a portal back in time with some of the weirdest takes on the type design industry from the ’00s, but still notable as probably the only remaining documentation for some of the early digital fonts mentioned there.
