A Dynamic Digital Font from an Ancient Tradition

The letterforms that we now accept as the historical standard for printing latin alphabets were developed in Italy around the end of 1400. Deriving from Roman capitals and from italic handwriting, they soon replaced the blackletter letterforms that were used a few years before by Gutenberg for his first moveable types. Between these two typographical traditions there's an interesting and obscure middle ground of historical oddballs, like the Pannartz-Sweynheym Subiaco types, cut in Italy in

Glitch 010: Go and Glitch No More

Tharanas Chuaychoo is an absolute master at taking the visual and aural exhaust of the technical world and turning it into hypnotic pieces of art.

A Nostalgic Celebration Of 8-Bit and 16-Bit Gaming: YWFT Edger

Over the last decade, and particularly since Minecraft's release in 2011, pixel art's popularity has experienced a continuous upswing around the globe. The trend has been a welcomed source of nostalgia for Gen-Xers, many of whom repeatedly died of dysentery while playing The Oregon Trail at school (although as most of us will agree, food poisoning from the school cafeteria would have been a far worse way to go). Broken wagon wheels and sick oxen aside, idyllic memories of classic gaming
