Episode Details

TypeRoof is **type tooling infrastructure**. It provides type proofing applications, initially based on Video Proof and Variable Type Tools. Now it also explores the world of general animation with type as a principal actor, and document creation with general typography in mind and typographical automations based on expert knowledge. TypeRoof is **intended as a host** for all kinds of type related tools, providing advanced methods of resource loading (i.e. fonts, data files) saving and restoring state etc. – features which ad-hoc developed tools typically miss out, as they are hard to do right on limited time. TypeRoof is **Free/Libre Open Source Software and web based**, build mainly with vanilla JavaScript and a few specialized dependencies. We are looking for a community of users and developers who are interested in shaping its future. ## Links * [website: TypeRoof](https://fontbureau.github.io/TypeRoof/docs/) * [git](https://github.com/FontBureau/TypeRoof) Licensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ about this event: https://pretalx.c3voc.de/lgm25-upstream-2025/talk/622685393/
