Rule of Thirds /// MLB
I try not to link to Threads (or the MLB for that matter), but these photos that play on the lines from the Rule of Thirds are just too damn good not to share.
AT Kyrios /// a curious, slightly psychedelic blackletter font family
Kyrios is a curious, slightly psychedelic blackletter family. Though it may seem like a modern idea, it is an interpretation of lettering from a grave monument carved in the late 1800s, located in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY.
I want to give a big shout out to Stephen over at ArrowType for officially launching Kyrios 1.0 and graduating from Future Fonts on this one. We've been using Kyrios here at TIV for almost 2 years now, and it's hard to imagine any other font replacing it at this point. We've had a ton of really cool blackletter fonts, including Casserole from OH No and Albertus Nova, but none of them can hold a candle to Kyrios.
Flexoki
This project has been a battle between my competing desires in science and art. One part of my brain searches for reliability and precision, while another part searches for those elusive imperfections that remind us what feels real. Solving for all these problems is how I arrived at Flexoki. I hope you find it useful.
I didn't really understand this at first, but I've come to be a bit obsessed with this theme. Similar to Solarized, it didn't seem useful for my own purposes—even if I can see how developers might find them nice. I think the prose & analog approach that Steph takes makes it better for me personally. It brings some of the simplicity that I love about the simple black, white, and blue themes that I tend to use across a lot of things while still being easy on the eyes, easy to understand, and a delight to use. I now use it in all my home-baked apps, in Drafts, in Obsidian, in Mona, in Ghostty, basically anywhere I can have a theme, I'm using Flexoki.
Mockdown — ASCII Wireframe Editor

This is extremely cool, although I have no idea what I'd actually use it for in day-to-day practice.

New theme fo the Blot CMS I use learned about via their newsletter. It’s styled after Obsidian Publish and looks terrific. Making me think I should give a digital garden another go…
