Maybe you’ve heard: every font is free! Since fonts aren’t subject to copyright, you can legally ‘pirate’ them if you use a specific loophole! ...except that’s not really true. I’ve seen this claim repeated quite a lot recently, and it’s missing some pretty important nuance. 🧵 A thread:

Look I understand the brand would never sign off on it, but the Hitman franchise is Swedish - so why in Odin's name has there never been a level set in a flat pack furniture superstore?

With the CEO of Gumroad now at DOGE, I killed everything I have on there. I had a *lot*, so I wrote a script for it. By request, this is that; it’ll ask for your access token (there’s instructions), back your sales and product data and then nuke your account. 🙌

Someone needs to make Balatro for Mahjong. All I ask is when you inevitably become a billionaire, sure be evil, but just significantly less evil than the rest of the cohort. Like just poison a well and tear down a community centre evil. We'll accept that as progress at this point.

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime. This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

Incredible just how broken the twitter to article/news cycle is in 2025. It was cute when BuzzFeed did it a decade ago reporting on trends but now even the most innocuous fluff piece inevitably amplifies far-right X accounts. /🧵

Inescapable things: 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. Everything gets AI 4. 24/7 Trump stuff until 2029+ I would willingly pay up to $50/month for number 3 to help me avoid exposure to number 4. I'd bet money I'm not in the minority of English speaking non-Americans in this.

American commercials are so uncannily airbrushed they look like they're filmed in Barbieland. Meanwhile British adverts by comparison look like they were shot between takes on the set of Trainspotting.

Book cover designers must hate the phrase "never judge a book by it's cover". Think of another proverb that undermines the basic validity of an entire profession. Brutal.

One of my top
#millennial
traits is that I genuinely want to use emojis, proper punctuation and capitalise proper nouns... but I sometimes go back and remove emojis and go all lowercase to appear nonchalant. This is not my authentic self. That and my distaste for 2700K lighting.
