It’s a Christmas miracle. Probably. — Ho, ho, ho, everyone. Santa (or Satan, can’t be sure) got me something special this season. Apparently, I was a good boy (I have to admit that I did brush my teeth twice a day and killed practically no one in 2020) so I deserved it. Here’s how it happened…

Most people don’t know this but ducks have weirdly-shaped dicks. Also, I code. A lot. In fact, my interest in design started not with me wanting to create logos or book covers but, rather, user interfaces for my apps. However, coding day in and day out with Courier can get…

Calendas Plus Let’s get something out of the way: atipo is my favorite foundry but I’m not affiliated with them in any way. Now let’s get something else out of the way: Calendas is not 100% free, but it might as well be. What I mean by that is that you can…

Cormorant claims to be inspired by the Garamond heritage but tweaked for use in large display sizes, while not compromising on legibility at lower sizes. Here’s what the type designer himself has to say about the typeface: Cormorant is characterized by scandalously small…

Make it feel like something — For the past month or so, I’ve been a tester for an app called Three.do. Three.do is a to-do app with a twist: it aims to make to-do reminder creation a simple, three-step process that doesn’t even need to involve any typing on your part. This is how the app…

I know it’s childish. I don’t care. — Listen. I’m aware that it’s childish but the reason I refuse to code in Kotlin is what I call the Kult of Kotlin.​ I know Kotlin is a nice language. In fact, I have studied it quite a bit. I bought (and read) books about it, purchased and watched tutorials…
