Just pinned on my type design board on Pinterest an image of the custom font designed for Pinterest. How ironic is that?!? pinterest.com.au/pin/1084383035…

Finally a very interesting use of Variable Font technology in commercial typefaces: Typotheque is updating Lava to include variable optical spacing. Hopefully this could be the default setting for fonts that aim both body text and display usage: typotheque.com/blog/major_upd…

As part of the process for car registration in Australia, you have to emit the compulsory insurance Green Slip. One of the questions that aim to estimate how much you have to pay is the gender of the youngest driver. We are still far from gender equality in so many basic stuff 😞

Some goals win tournaments, but this one won more than that. On the day before, his teammate posted a homophobic tweet in reaction to their club Vasco adopting the LGBTQ+ colours on the jersey for this week's game. Take that celebration, caveman!

Brazil won the Olympic gold medal in men's football. But the players proved to have no personality by coopting with CBF to not wear the compulsory jacket of Time Brasil during the ceremony. Instead, they did a free promotion of Nike. No wonder why our current Seleção sucks. #7x1

Just saw a job offer with the title "Graphic Designer/Marketing Guru". Thinking of applying and state I'm a mentalist designer

'Brazil Indigenous Land'. What a powerful visual protest against the You-Know-Whosonaro. His administration is making every effort to harm Brazilian indigenous communities in favor of landowners of regions close to their protected territories.

What some type designers don't get about #VariableFont is that choosing among weights of a proper family was never the problem, but finding the appropriate choice for each instance of a design project. So although a slider looks cool, in most cases only enlarges the problem.

New wraparound visual signature for Coca-Cola's newest ad campaign. The first letter C seems a bit flimsy, but I loved the concept and usage on the posters. creativereview.co.uk/coca-cola-real…

I finally was in the room where it happened Hamilton in Australia, one of my all time favourite musicals. I confess I was expecting disappointment for seeing the movie 18374 times on Disney+, so the bar was high. But the Aussie cast was outstanding. It was unforgettable!

Globo.com redesigned their website a few months ago, with responsive layout. In a specific mid-range window size all images get a weird ultra-wide crop. Hellooooo design team. This doesn't work at all!

If I may grab your attention on this social media platform (sweet irony), listen to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, not me: "If your creativity is driven by a desire to get attention, you're never going to be creatively fulfilled." ted.com/talks/joseph_g…

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure your year? Mine next cycle seems to be how many times I'll listen to Seasons of Love youtube.com/watch?v=W1wKMg…

Whenever I am stuck with academic writing, I can always count on Radiohead's show 'In Rainbows From the Basement' to keep me focused and move ahead. Instead of counting written pages, I count how many times I've listened to that performance. #phdlife

This is a call to type foundries. We want to build a smarter tool for graphic designers to find the perfect typefaces for each project, instead of using the same ones over and over. We want to give more visibility to your work!

The future of business presentations: the presenter uses AI to create a full presentation (as example below). He sends the presentation to another person (who hates presentations). The receiver then uses AI to extract the main points of the presentation,…lnkd.in/gmy89XGH
