DESCRIPTION:Modern fonts look like static design assets\, but they are act
 ually complex software packages. Inside every `.ttf` and `.otf` file is a 
 structured database of geometry\, lookup tables\, and rendering rules. The
  global type industry like Google Fonts\, Adobe\, and many independent fou
 ndries relies on Python to build\, inspect\, and automate these fonts.\n\n
 This talk takes a practical\, engineering-first look at how Python powers 
 modern typography. Using the open-source FontTools library\, I will show h
 ow glyphs are stored as contours and Bezier points\, how font binaries can
  be decompiled into editable XML\, and how changes can be compiled back in
 to a working font. We will also look at the interpolation math that allows
  Variable Fonts to morph smoothly between weights such as Thin and Bold.
