Yesterday, we said goodbye to my Mom, almost exactly a year after saying goodbye to my Dad. It only scratches the surface, but I wrote up some thoughts about what she taught me over the years. simplebits.com/2024/08/15/my-…

A few of my favorite Fleet Foxes songs set in our latest Dragönsteel typeface. No one writes a melody+lyric like robin. #legend #sbfonts

Quick lockups using only #sbfonts ✨ 1. Free Lunch 2. Cartridge 3. Vault Alarm 4. Dragönsteel

Another smart move 👏

It may not be what the general public wants, but I’d love to see more movies with practical effects, puppets, stop motion, miniatures, analog orchestral scores, etc. It’s not just nostalgia, it’s an enjoyable aesthetic when done well. BTW I loved Beetlejuice 2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

Testing and putting the finishing touches on the forthcoming #sbfonts Hubano — A display serif inspired by some lettering on a cuban cigar box (don’t tell the authorities I have it 😎)

Had some plates made featuring #sbfonts, waiting on a base for our letterpress. We’ll doing some new prints soon, and I’m excited to continue making things by only knowing about half of what I’m doing.

Reworking an older design with #sbfonts Paint Factory. Might need to slap this one on some goods.

Just shared our forthcoming typeface, Hubano, with Secret Type Club members (membership has its privileges, folks). Joining the club is pretty simple: simplebits.shop/products/stc

My new typeface is out today! Hubano is a decorative display serif inspired by lettering on a Cuban cigar box. Wacky crossbars (but also boring alternates). For the next week get 15% off with code CROSSBAR #sbfonts simplebits.shop/products/hubano

I'll often design a physical good as a specimen for these type releases, and for Hubano we made matchbooks—but instead of matches, they have 10 plantable, wildflower seed sticks. I'll probably throw one in with any goods order for a bit ;-) #marketing simplebits.shop/products/hubano

Our latest typeface, Hubano, inspired by Cuban cigar box lettering is now available. All-caps, extended language support, two styles: Regular and Rough. It was a blast zig-zagging those crossbars! #sbfonts

If zig-zaggy crossbars are too much, #sbfonts Hubano has boring alternates.

Measure twice, cut once. Learn it, know it, live it. New tee now available using our Paint Factory #sbfonts. simplebits.shop/products/measu…

Long way to go with this one, but it’s already taking shape. #sbfonts

At this point, probably best to follow me on Bluesky (and/or Threads and/or Mastodon) ✌️ bsky.app/profile/simple…
