I will do considerable production work myself. This time he will likely also have some hands-on production role. Vassil is our scripting guru, and can do some amazing things with automation-his contributions in that regard were invaluable in the version 1 project. This will be work for hire, and the resulting typeface will be owned by Google (not open source).

WHO? So I am looking for one more person to help work on it in FontLab 7 currently it is me plus some help from Vassil Kateliev. WHEN? This would start at or near the beginning of January and run through May. Given the desired timeline, there is too much work and not enough time for me to do it solo. The work is primarily adding further masters to an existing typeface, not original design work. In 2020, I did a first version with a weight axis, but now I need to do a big expansion in 2021-with two more axes.
WHAT? I have been commissioned to continue a variable font project I started this year with Google. Working with me (Thomas Phinney) and Vassil Kateliev on project, with Google as our client.Expected hours/month dependent on experience and productivity.Happy doing unusual font production that is possibly even more fiddly and repetitive than the usual.Technical skills including Python scripting are a plus.FontLab 6/7 experience highly desirable, but not required.Already qualified as a supplier with Google (and hence under non-disclosure agreement).Bonus if you have worked with design space that did not have axes in the corners.Variable font development experience, preferably with multiple axes.Font production experience (which might be mostly type design).
NOTE: The position has been filled! Qualifications:
