The Contra app is now live 🚀 Mac users can download it now. Thanks @Gajus Kuizinas 🫶

This is awesome to see. Having a dedicated Mac app will make managing Contra much smoother.

before type was designed, it was forged. the printing press and the blacksmith's workshop share more history than most people realise, and the earliest typefaces weren't drawn at a drafting table but cast in metal by hands that already knew the craft. i've made a few found-letterform fonts before, usually from plants and things in nature. this one, built from images of ornamental metal gates, is by far my favourite and feels like a natural homage to the original metal-cast type. let me know what you think! 🔩

Nice, I did a similar project 10 years ago with a friend as part of a design summer school program. We had a small exhibition with all symbols, a huge poster and even a laser-cut fence model. Have a look if you're interested.
