I'm making type and typography accessible and available to everyone in my role as UX Manager and Design Lead for Google Fonts, (read more about that here).
I’ve worked on the Material Design System, led the Design for Google Play Instant and was responsible for the User Experience of the launch of the Google Store (for which I’ve received a Webby Award).
I also worked on Android Messages and various projects for Google Brand Studio.
Recently I returned to Berlin, Germany after spending time working in London, New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Modern Web Development – Fonts are software (and icons too!)
New type technologies like Variable Fonts and Color Fonts are changing this. These new font standards make it possible to think of type and icons as real software that can be manipulated programmatically and during runtime. And they open up whole new ways of typographic expression. Tobias Kunisch leads the design team for Google Fonts will provide an overview of how you can use new type standards in web design now and the things that will be possible soon.

beyond tellerrand - Typography for everyone
As one of the co-founders of Google Fonts, Tobias believes that open source fonts are an important way in which we can provide access to typography for anyone designing and building things on the internet. Especially in regions of the world that don’t use the latin alphabet.New technologies like variable fonts are changing type to be more like software and will open up entirely new possibilities in digital spaces.

Color fonts
Color fonts enable color specification within the font file—and one glyph can have multiple colors. Non-color fonts (i.e., most existing fonts) only specify where color goes. A glyph can only be one color, and if you want your type to be something other than black, you have to manually change it.
