I'm a father to a boy named Jackson, husband to G, and a principal at the design firm MM in San Francisco. Thanks for stopping by.
LAIKA from Michael Flückiger on Vimeo.
Laika is a fully dynamic font that allows for its other “weights” to be modified in real time. This is the first time I have seen something like this. Very impressive. I think it really opens up the possibilities of what someone could do with a font.
Much thanks to Patrick for turning me onto this French Art Director living in Vancouver. His work is solid, clearly influenced by a keen sense of typographic mastery. Xavier also has beat me to the punch on an idea that I have been meditating on for some time, an interactive cook book. But that's ok, I will just have something to improve upon :).
The recent issue of Wired magazine has some wonderful visual nuggets. Michael Doret and Siggi Eggertsson collaborated on this piece, "Cutthroat Capitalism: An Econimic Analysis of the Somali Pirate Business Model." Ty Wilkins, over at Type Theory, has the full story. Some really great typography and illustration at play here.
This is truly kickass. Thanks to posterous friend Font72 for digging this up. And make sure you go over to mynamewasgod.com and qu-int.com to learn more about the creators behind this piece.
Really well done.
