With a group of 20 courageous participants and the help of open type activists Dave Crossland, Alexandre Prokoudine and Nicolas Spalinger we are using Inkscape, Gimp and FontForge to produce a typeface in a day. We have named it W Drog? (On Our Way, En Route in Polish) and it should be available for download by the end of the day tomorrow soon!

    hey! thank you very much for the workshop, I regret I had to leave earlier.
    I was a nice time and I’ve learnt pretty much about how a font is digitalized.
    Hope you have a good time in Wrocław!
    Best wishes.
