To anyone wondering, this is kind of the typographic equivalent to "by the way, this JS library was written by John Resig."

Spiekermann also designed FF Meta, which is the font used for the Mozilla and Firefox wordmarks ( http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/communications/typef... ). So, the similarities between Fira and Meta aren't coincidental.

It makes me curious how they are going to deal with the issue tracker, pull requests etcetera… did they hire him also to follow up on them? I guess they don’t really count on accepting pull requests (seeing also how the font sources are not in the git).
