A collaboration between Koto and our internal team Brilliant is a website and app for learning quantitative and technical skills. Our main topics are math, data, and computer science, including AI. We're direct-to-consumer, and most of our customers are in their teens, twenties, and thirties. What's different about Brilliant is our method of learning by doing - there are no videos, and everything is interactive. You're interacting with diagrams and data, and rearranging code.

Why are we so fascinated by letters? When I tell them that I make fonts, my non-designer friends are truly curious.

I even had an early copy of Fontographer, though the horrible fonts I made as a teenager are thankfully gone now.

I remember poring over the Adobe Font & Function magazine and begging my parents for the first release of Myriad, a Multiple Master font that came on multiple 3.5 inch diskettes.
