Some of the WIP to get there:
I got to make the posters for this release. Super fun, felt like going back to my roots to work on a type specimen page again.

A little easter egg. Try type "zeitgeist" or "blueprint" into the type tester to see them in other colours.

The best browser is dead.
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026. That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community. Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward. We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how: · Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly. · Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact. · Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security. · The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional. Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

current hyperfixation is the letraset typeface competition of 1970 in dublin, ireland that birthed tuam unical. which, to me, is one of the best irish language display fonts out there, nothing has come close to it since. sin é... slán xx

hope you guys made it to the annual reports side of twitter this week, because this post sent me down the best rabbit hole possible!!
Four of my favorite annual report covers. If I had to single out one year, I’d say this lost art peaked in 1977.

Instagram has unveiled Instants. The new feature allows users to share uneditable photos with their close friends and mutual followers. Instants disappear after being seen, (and after 24 hours), and cannot be screenshotted by others.

i think i’ve said this before, but the most inspiring design work is happening outside of consumer apps. and Mixtape’s pause menu is just one great example.
