The week's stories, one studio visit and the typeface we kept coming back to. Free, read by 42,000 designers, and easy to leave.
Every story we published, each with one line on why it is worth your time.
A short visit to a studio we admire: who works there, what they made, and what they turned down.
The one family we kept setting all week, with a sample at the size you would actually use it.
This is how last Friday opened. Five minutes to read, no tracking pixels and one link to leave.
Good morning,
Three of the typefaces we set this week shipped a wider cut for small sizes, and none of them called it a new family. We spent Tuesday finding out why, and the answer has more to do with phone screens than with fashion.
Also this week: a studio in Turin that turns down half its briefs, and the settings page people actually read to the end.

What the last four Fridays looked like.
The only email I open before coffee. The typeface section has sent me to three foundries.
Short enough to finish, specific enough to use. I forward the studio visit to my team most weeks.
It reads like a note from friends who happen to know a lot about design.
