Formkunft

Hello! I’m Florian Pircher
and this is the place where I publish my work.

Work

I am working on Glyphs, a Mac app for designing fonts and icon sets. Currently, I am developing the app, writing the handbook, running infrastructure, and providing support on the Glyphs Forum. Additionally, I am developing the following Glyphs plug-ins:

• Light Table provides a rich set of version control features based on Git.
• Guten Tag adds a “Tags” palette for quick and easy tagging of glyphs.
• Anchor Annotations offers many customizable modes for displaying anchors.
• Keyboard Selection Travel allows you to change the selection with the keyboard.
• Show Zero-Width Glyphs highlights zero-width glyphs in the Edit View.

About me

Born and grown up in Brixen, Italy. Moved to Würzburg, Germany to study computer science at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität while developing websites at praegnanz.de and whitespace GmbH. Working at Glyphs since 2021.

Elsewhere

I log the movies I’ve watched at Letterboxd, which is just a lovely place on the web. You can follow me on Mastodon to connect over typography, photography, software design, or anything else. My desktop wallpaper pictures are published on Pixelfed, where you can expect new entries about once a week. Open-source projects are hosted by GitHub @florianpircher and @Formkunft.
