Chris Simpkins, creator of Hack font, has died
Sadly, Christopher Simpkins (@csimpkins) died on June 20th 2025. He was kind, patient deeply curious and knowledgeable. I miss his humble, enlightening, and cheerful ways. Chris managed the development of the recently published Google Sans Code typeface. He was passionate about the project and I enjoyed working with him to gather Developer community feedback. https://github.com/googlefonts/googlesans-code The funeral home provides an opportunity to read, and leave messages: https://www.rand-wilson.com/obituary/christopher-simpkins
