Archive of Briem’s notes on eth/thorn?

SCarewe · June 2025

Hello, I was going to share my bookmark of Gunnlaugur Briem's notes on the design of eth and thorn with somebody, but found in the process that the site gives a 404 now:
https://sites.google.com/view/briem/type-design/thorn-and-eth

Does anybody know where to find this again? At least, there is a snapshot on the internet archive:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250116090557/https://sites.google.com/view/briem/type-design/thorn-and-eth

But I thought that the original might have moved to a new home I am not aware of. Does anybody know more? Thanks!

P.S. not sure about what category to put this question in. Advice welcome.

Briem’s notes are archived on the Fontlab website: https://help.fontlab.com/fontlab/8/tutorials/briem/
Hope you can find the notes on thorn and eth there!

What I remember most from memory from the Atypi Iceland conference, was the idea that the curve of the lowercase /eth must be similar to the /parenright, and not the /six or /nine

Just found out the article is still available at https://www.briem.net/type-design/thorn-and-eth
