22K views · 6 years ago · talk · evergreen

Marcin Wichary of Figma gives a Config 2020 talk that starts from the simple Cmd+B keyboard shortcut and follows where it leads, through the typography and software behind making text bold. It is a playful, detailed dive into type, keyboards and interface details.

HN people single it out as a favorite talk of 2020 and a typography talk from a type wizard.

“I really enjoyed this typography talk from him as well”
