We are hiring: Typoblindtext writer

Sometimes you use words such as Hamburgefonts, Rafgenduks, or Handgloves to test fonts. Sometimes you use sentences that contain all letters of the alphabet - these sentences are called “pangrams.” This one is very well known: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy old dog. 

You bring: Experience with typographic dummy text

Foreign language phrases are often incorporated into typographic dummy texts (AVAIL® and Wefox™ are testing aussi la kerning) to test the effect in other languages. In Latin, for example, almost every font looks good. Quod erat demonstrandum. Since 1975, numbers have been missing from most test texts, which is why, according to TypoGb. 204 §, numbers will become mandatory in 86 of the texts from 2034 onwards. Non-compliance will be punished with a fine of up to €245 or $368. Âçcèñtë are now just as important, but are almost always included in newer fonts. OpenType functionalities are an important but difficult field to integrate. Depending on the software and default settings, built-in small caps, kerning, or ligatures (very clever) may not be displayed correctly.
