ChatGPT in InDesign? Why not! I’ve just published Lorem Chatum, which uses ChatGPT to generate multilingual, contextually relevant lorem ipsum text. It can fill an empty text frame based on other texts on the page, or extend existing text within a frame. github.com/twardoch/lorem-ch…

+ In addition to a huge number of July's type news, we launched a new collaboration with our Japanese friends from @typecache and asked them to select the best new July releases in their opinion. It turned out to be super interesting. type.today/en/journal/july20

I am a Japanese typeface designer and I’m native to none of the scripts I work on (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Mongolian, Arabic, Tengwar, Tibetan, etc.). And I refuse to quit my job just because I don’t do Japanese.

While this is generally well meaning, I find the fourth paragraph highly problematic. It promotes nativism over design skill or research & takes agency away from designers who were not born into the script. 1/

With regards to the @alphabettes_org article, I take it as a matter of principle that the circumstances of your birth should not limit your career options. Not race, not gender, & not nationality. I believe in education & collaboration to build bridges, not building border walls.

I'll be honest and vulnerable here: As a non-white person who designs Latin I have gotten many racist comments over the years, solely bc I don't look Caucasian. If you can't empathize with the @alphabettes_org article, maybe you should examine your privilege. 1/3
