We just did a major redesign and reengineering for the e-commerce experience on Ivy Foundry’s website. This was a huge undertaking led by Persa Zula and will shape the future of font purchasing across all our sites.
You can view it live at https://ivyfoundry.com/ (and maybe license some fonts, they are good!)
Thanks for the input and support from the whole team: @bram@typo.social, Dave Gutierrez, Ivan Ukhov, and @tylersticka@social.lol
If you’re in the US, have you called your representatives today? Now is a good time to do so.
I get why we don’t have ::before and ::after on , but it would be so useful sometimes.
Project Hail Mary was a very good movie 👨🚀🪨
There is some really impressive text and layout stuff happening in #Pretext. I would love to see CSS exclusions, a better justification algorithm, and improved CSS column support to address some of what Pretext is doing.
…or Rocky’s home world.
Fantastic talk by @imanijoy@mastodon.social on design, iteration, and community. I love how incredibly thoughtful she is in this work and moving through feature development.
After the DLSS 5 fiasco, I’ve been thinking about what it might be like to create a genAI rendering pipeline that gives artists more control, not less.
I can imagine using meshes that are keyed to have the concept art team draw assets to fill these areas. Similar to how sketch-to-AI tools work, but with an artist controlling the sample data the models are built from. Low-poly meshes and vectors for velocity provide input to a custom model created by artists, producing truly wild visuals.
I feel like DLSS5 could have been really cool and they could have introduced a whole new rendering pipeline, but they leaned so hard into AI slop instead.
