Notes

Dithr!

My friend and frequent collaborator Chris Lewis just released a free iOS app Dithr. It dithers photos and video with fun pixilated patterns and retro color palettes, recalling the computer games of my youth!

I find myself taking pictures and videos of mundane, everyday objects (radio towers, ceiling fans, and even plain white walls), just to see what wild colors and pixely gradients I can get the app to produce.

Here are some photos I’ve taken with the app. I encourage you to give it a download at dithr.io, and you’ll even catch a sneak peek of my typeface Output!

Fit on Type Network

Type Network just published a great feature about my latest typeface, Fit. It includes this excellent mock record sleeve, designed by the great Yves Peters.

(In case you’re curious, that’s a picture of me on a hike in Saxon Switzerland National Park in Germany.)

Many thanks to Yves, Marina Chaccur, Claire Lindsey, Caren Litherland, and Tamye Riggs for putting this feature together!

Today, Emily and I attended the Women’s March in Greenfield, MA. We both made our own signs, and I took the opportunity to put Fit to work!

Limited time offer!

I’ll be the first to admit that my new typeface Fit is pretty unusual, so I’d love to see you pair it with some of my more, ahem, utilitarian designs.

So if you were looking for an excuse to license Gimlet, Forma DJR, or any of my other multipurpose typefaces, I’m offering $50 off when you order Fit alongside any order of $150 or more. That means a mini license of Fit is essentially free!
