Bill Atkinson is one of my heroes. ‘Making art on a computer’ simply would not have been the same without this man. The experience of using a web browser, even, is inspired by his work. Thanks Bill. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/t...

This typographic vibe really had the 1990s in a stranglehold (two of these being Bodega Sans).

I would like to write an article about the sheer amount of design/illustration software that can be found in episodes of the TV show Computer Chronicles (1984-2002). These episodes show demos of so much raster/vector design software that it’s hard to believe Adobe eventually conquered the market.

It's Psychonauts' 20th anniversary. 🧠🧠 🤯 What can you even say! It feels like yesterday butalso one hundred years ago. Double Fine took a big swing on our first game and let's be honest: we kinda nailed it? Thank you all for your love and support over the years. We love that you love Raz so much!

I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

Honestly speechless about how thorough and creative this typeface design was. Variable widths and weights, serif, sans, italic, optional monospaced numbers, a volume knob for embellishments, smart swashes… 😮 Read through the linked article for details.

The swashes in WeGo Serif also have smart OpenType settings which auto-magically choose the best swash combinations on the fly. Read more about the design process here: lettermatic.com/custom/fetch...

Hi, Bluesky! 🦋 I work at Lettermatic, a type foundry, making font families like these. I've been dreaming up swash styles and fussing over tiny details in these families with my talented coworkers — it's exciting to share the result of all our hard work!

Print shots! My photos do not do justice to how colourful and vibrant this came out- @vicepress.bsky.social printed it up beautifully! You can boldly go to vice press or sideshow (US) if you'd like an Enterprise in your ready room 🖼️ linktr.ee/carlydraws #art #StarTrek late #SpaceshipSaturday :-D

Testing the new Really Sans font by @rileycran.bsky.social today. My favorite letters so far are the “a” and “e”, they look fantastic in the ultra large font style. The large letter version reads really well as a lowercase headline. Two thumbs up! #typography #design lettermatic.com/fonts/really...
