En montant un meuble Ikéa j'ai empilé trois morceaux de carton et accidentellement créé une maquette de sous-prefecture des années 60.

Yes this is a poor redesign. Let’s talk about the typography of this horror. 1- type style: geometric sans serifs are seen as neutral but a better way to describe them is as static fonts. They are rigid and do not move. Why would you use this for a brand that has sports cars??

Please @figma. I'm begging you for something like a "wrap text in span" because this workflow is about 100x harder in Figma than it is in code.

(gentle female NTS dj voice) and, of course, that last track was an unnamed 1983 single from the great welsh anatolian rock band Marty’s Biggest Breakfast, who all sadly died in a grain silo accident twelve years ago today. hope it’s sunny wherever you are this morning

Hear me out: FutureFonts (@futurefonts), but for in-development, well crafted serif text typefaces.

This is *massive* work
monaspace.githubnext.com All code has been letters, on a grid, since the days of the teletype machine. How can we advance the state of the art to make code itself more expressive and powerful? How can we layer more meaning onto code?
