Steven Heller’s Font of the Month: Zinkraft
Read the book, Typographic Firsts Massimo Vignelli was canonically adamant that a contemporary designer only requires a handful of typefaces and should “trash the rest.” He was talking about five to be exact: Helvetica, Bodoni, Futura, Century Expanded, and Times New Roman. He was right for his times, but styles and customs have changed, and […] The post Steven Heller’s Font of the Month: Zinkraft appeared first on I Love Typography Ltd .

Structure in Type Design
Read the book, Typographic Firsts The legendary type designer Adrian Frutiger once described an epiphany he had: “When I put my pen to a blank sheet, black isn’t added, but rather the white sheet is deprived of light. […] Thus, I also grasped that the empty spaces are the most important aspect of a typeface.” […] The post Structure in Type Design appeared first on I Love Typography Ltd .

Steven Heller’s Font of the Month: Ege Basalt
Read the book, Typographic Firsts I’ve forever fancied fat faces. And not just for the alliteration. And I’ve found the perfect weight in a comparatively new design with vintage flavor: the revival of Ege Basalt family featuring five fonts (Bold, ExtraBold, Heavy, Medium, and Regular) in a “Cubist Bold” art deco-inspired sans serif. Not only […] The post Steven Heller’s Font of the Month: Ege Basalt appeared first on I Love Typography Ltd .

Steven Heller’s Font of the Month: Dez Bollardian
Read the book, Typographic Firsts At long last, I’ve found a newly conceived typeface that allows me to be accessible and expressive all within the same family. This is a face that can be demonstrative and demure all at the same time. It is an all-purpose sans that can be used in large and small weights, sizes and cases – […] The post Steven Heller’s Font of the Month: Dez Bollardian appeared first on I Love Typography Ltd .

Why Spending Money Feels Different When You Don’t See It Leave Your Hands
Cash, digital payments, and the surprising way technology shapes how we experience spending. It started with a post I came across about someone buying a watch worth ₹12,000. I found myself thinking about the purchase, so I brought it up with a friend. What began as an ordinary conversation about an expensive watch took an unexpected turn: my friend told me he had received a watch worth ₹30,000 as a gift. That made me think about something interesting. One person had spent ₹12,000 on a watch. Another had received a watch worth ₹30,000 without paying for it himself. The watches had monetary valu

Product design with AI: our job is about setting our standard for AI
TLDR: AI can do a lot of what designers used to do, and it’s easy to feel replaced. One analogy I heard encouraged me to think it’s less about losing our jobs and more about knowing our own standard of work well enough to teach it to AI. Even my mom talks about AI Everyone hears about AI, and everyone talks about AI. I walk down the street and hear people talking about it. Even my mom talks about AI. Her new hobby is sending me AI-generated memes, which is quite sweet, to be honest. This is an opinion I shared with my design team recently, about what all this means for us. Underneath the noise

This is how I work with AI as a Designer right now.
TLDR: This is what my actual day-to-day workflow with AI looks like right now, skill by skill: ideating an idea deeply before writing any code, turning it into tickets an agent can run, branching into a few prototypes before committing to one, then bringing in style and polish last. The way I used to work For a long time, my way of working with AI was just stacking prompts. I’d write one, wait, look at what came back, give a note. Then often remember a second thing I’d forgotten and have to write another prompt just for that. The context window kept getting longer, and I never knew how many pr

You’ve Designed the Story, But How Does It Unfold?
Why designers need to understand performance, critical paths and what happens before information reaches the screen. The experience we design is only what happens on stage. Behind it, a whole system of dependencies determines when the performance can begin. Back in 2014, I wrote an article about why we put CSS in the head of an HTML document . It explored the browser’s critical rendering path, and how something as seemingly simple as putting CSS directly into a page rather than loading an external stylesheet could affect how quickly that page appeared. At the time, I was working primarily in f

How Bad Bunny Turned the World’s Cheapest Chair Into a Pop Icon
A collage of Bad Bunny with the Monobloc chair by Francesco Maria Furno No one paid any attention to the Monobloc until Bad Bunny came along to dignify the most common chair in the world. A piece of white plastic that has filled our everyday spaces since the day it was born, with its bland, anodyne spirit. The Monobloc is the commercial product par excellence for resting our backsides. Cheap, easy to stack, transport, and replace, and pretty sturdy for the price it sells at. After the Puerto Rican artist’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos, it’s not only one of the best-selling objects but one of the most

The Invisible: Graphic Design in Film
Movie posters by Javier Jaen (Madres Paralelas), Vasilis Marmatakis (Poor Things) and Maria Medem (Secaderos) We’re close to a new season of film festivals, awards and galas where movies and big productions take centre stage. But graphic design isn’t quite in the spotlight. This is a journey to discover the invisible side of a great visual art. Yes. It’s true. I admit the headline is a bit clickbait, but it’s also kind of true — and if you read to the end, you’ll see how we got here. Graphic design is recognizable (if not exactly recognized ) when we look at a movie poster, because it’s the ke

The Next UX Problem: What If AI Does Exactly What We Asked, But Not What We Meant?
We wanted AI to save us time. But what happens when it starts making decisions on our behalf? Imagine this. You open an AI assistant and type: “Find me a good hotel for my weekend trip. Compare the prices, check the reviews, and book the best option.” A few minutes later, the AI comes back. It found three hotels, compared their prices, checked their ratings, selected one, and completed the booking. Everything happened without you opening another tab. Sounds wonderful, right? Now imagine discovering that the hotel is 20 kilometres away from the city centre. The AI selected it because it was che

Context is the new interface
The future of design lies in what happens between products A conceptual illustration of how AI agents use onscreen context to help the system interpret and use app capabilities. AI generated image, Aurélie Radom ©. Imagine you receive a message from a friend recommending a restaurant. You want to check where it is, see whether you are free that evening, and reply with a time that works for both of you. You search through your messages, open the link, check the location, switch to your calendar, return to the conversation, and finally write your reply. Each step is simple on its own, but togeth
