Big thanks to @elliotjaystocks and his fantastic Typographic & Sporadic newsletter for introducing me to Ty and Etcetera Type — I’m swooning over these fonts! (I’ve gotta ask if he’ll ship a hat up to Canada) #typography #fonts https://etceteratype.co/

Wicked Websites: A Rogues’ Gallery – Tyler Sticka

An illustrated guide to the villains endemic to your average web experience.

These scientific illustrations by Orra Hitchcock (1796–1863) — executed on poster-sized linen swaths and hung on classroom walls — are striking for their modern abstraction. More here in our post by @eayers0: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/hitchcock-illustrations
AI is here, and lots of us are having a very familiar panic. I wrote something about why the conversation around “creativity” isn’t holding up, and what actually matters instead: https://blog.agyei.design/are-we-cooked/

Hope you are having a great Sunday! In my new #KirbyCMS video we are finally adding a RSS feed to the website! 🙌

I co-designed this primer with @typographiesfr for the French Ministry of Education and "La Forge des Communs Numériques" (open-source platform for educational resources).

A board of teachers was consulted to achieve the best result, and it is open-source!

Marelle is not just a font, it's a family with much features and variants (extenders height, color font with guidelines, capital cursive and roman…) to accommodate different needs and uses.

I really enjoyed collaborating with Laurent Bourcellier on the design and thanks to him we have beautiful images to show off this project.

Check out https://marelle.forge.apps.education.fr for more info.

Yet another smash out of the park from @simpletypeco: https://simplebits.shop/products/beeswacks. It’s SO GOOD. I will be inevitably compelled to buy the T-shirt they put it on.

@mauricerenck Hi Maurice, I’m curious if when using your Kirby Komments plugin if it’s possible for a panel user to edit comments? Perhaps limited to their own? (Great plugin btw!)
