Hey and welcome to issue 24 👋

Well sorry for the little delay. But sometimes I like to completely enjoy my weekend without any digital media interruption. That is the reason why you receive this newsletter today and not on Sunday. Also, I would like to tell you that I will take a little break. Since I am leaving for vacation on Thursday there will be no new newsletter on Sunday this week. But no worries, I am gathering already all the cool stuff for the next issue. So have a nice day!

If you have recommendations or feedback, drop me a mail or a tweet. For now, enjoy the newsletter! 😊🙌

→ Turn your side project into a company. Introducing Weekend Build. – "Sometimes the most impactful companies begin as a side project, driven by curiosity and experimentation. That’s how Product Hunt started nearly six years ago. Side projects are part of the inspiration behind the name of the fund I started two years ago: Weekend Fund."

→ Jony Ive and the Myth that Only Certain People Can Design – "Over the last week, the big design buzz has been on Jonathan Ive leaving Apple. Much of the conversation is around the impact he’s had on the design of Apple’s products — on shaping the form of the things we want and buy."

→ One design concept, infinite revisions? – "I’m amazed when I hear this asked in design groups — it’s 2019 and it still comes up. And even more amazed by the variety of answers it usually receives, all from people who truly believe their process is the right one."

→ Beyond empathy – "I am a French service designer, working in Finland on a popular Finnish dating service. My team and I are developing a mobile app for our dating service while maintaining our old web app with a fragile legacy and building a new architecture. We are a tiny tech team: three developers and me, and a freelancer helping with UI design."

Typeface of the week

Radial is an emotionally charged geometric-turned-humanist sans serif of 5 weights and infinite variable sub-instances. It’s informal geometry and wide span of tonal variety spreads over conventional barriers of traditional sans-serif typography. It resonates in a dramatic personality range, that performs flawlessly on both muscular display and small font sizes. The variable font support comes naturally to it as it’s fundamental geometry principles are built upon motion in mind. Weight and slant are two variation axes that can be controlled simultaneously in the variable version.

Radial typeface is available for purchase exclusively on Village. For more information about this font, please get in touch at info@wearegradient.net
