Grotesk v3.0

13 January 2023In 2023, a new version of Grotesk developed by Ariel Martín Pérez was released. This new version introduces new weights that are multiplexed, which means that you can change the weight of the font without changing the width of the paragraphs. This new version also presents some subtle optical corrections. Last but not least, it considerably expands the glyphset of the font with a brand new lowercase set as well as language support for Russian, Ukrainian, Tifinagh and many Latin-based languages.

5 October 2022The 2.1 version of Backout presents improved spacing and kerning, some new ligatures and some subtle optical adjustments.

In physics, the shower-curtain effect is the phenomenon in which a shower curtain gets blown inward with a running shower. The problem of the cause of this effect has been featured in Scientific American magazine, with several theories given to explain the phenomenon but no definite conclusion. Στην ομιλία του προς την Ολομέλεια του Ευρωπαϊκού Κοινοβουλίου στο Στρασβούργο, ο Πρόεδρος της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής, Ζαν Κλοντ Γιούνκερ, προτείνει τη δημιουργία μίας θέσης επικεφαλούς της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, που θα συνδυάζει αυτή των Προέδρων της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής και του Ευρωπαϊκού Συμβουλίου
