MD Thermochrome version 0.2 is now available!

This is a pretty big update, with 6 new weights (i.e. 600% more than v0.1), all of them duplexed to allow for various stacking and layering effects. Also a variable font, and slightly better language support.

I’m not committing to a release date just yet, but here’s a small look at the next update for MD Thermochrome.

Dot size (‘weight’) is duplexed, which allows for some neat stacking/layering effects.

Next week it’ll be 5 years since I launched Mass-Driver — I’m beyond grateful to have been able to spend the past half decade (!!) doing what I love.

That said, I’m going to celebrate with a much-needed week off. Please try to avoid having font-related emergencies until I’m back on the 24th.

Doing my year-end admin this week and was delighted to see that, as of 2024, I’ve sold a font on every continent except Antarctica.

Delighted until I realised that I’d actually hit that milestone in February 2022 and just not noticed.

New release! MD Thermochrome v0.1 is out now via @futurefonts

A typeface meant to evoke (though not imitate) fonts from dot-matrix and thermal printers, as well as the 1983 VT220 Terminal.

You know the drill: if you license it now ($18, one weight), you’ll get free updates as the design progresses

Please welcome MD Nichrome V2.0.

It’s the same typeface, just better: over 450 new glyphs, bringing language support up to the same standard as our newest releases (Latin M, to be specific), plus a bunch of quality-of-life improvements and technical refinements.

Oh, and a new stylistic set: Gothic Alternates (shown here) evoke the iconic arched shapes of classic ’80s faces like Marvin and ITC Busorama.

Available today. mass-driver.com/typefaces/md-n

Cool analytics fact: in the last 30 days, the foundry website has had twice as many referrals from Twitter (a platform I haven’t used for ~2 years) as Instagram (a platform I use multiple times per week).

(And for what it’s worth, @FontsInUse is well ahead of both.)

This weekend it’ll be one year since we started providing full, non-subset trial fonts.

At the time I wasn’t entirely confident it’d work — but with tangible benefits and only hypothetical risks, I had to at least give it a shot.

Reader, it has been a resounding success.
