💥 The Internet of Grift
Ed Zitron wrote a piece about NFT’s and I agree: “I can’t hate [that] people want to belong, they want to feel important, they want to meet people with shared interests, that’s fine - but the rest of it is a loathsome combination of greed and desperation masquerading as art sales.”.

That puzzle company website was designed by Little Troop, the design studio of Noemie Le Coz and Jeremy Elliot. And their website and projects are amazing! Take a look:
📚 Stripe Press
The people at Stripe (that online payment processing platform) sure now how to make websites. This is their book/film publishing company website, built with nice 3D animated books (on desktop), smooth transitions and nice type and colours.
And it even works pretty good on mobile too. 🔥

❤️🔥 Ultra by Grilly Type
“Noël Leu’s GT Ultra dances between the worlds of sans and serifs, fusing calligraphy and construction. Achieving a balance between flair and function across a versatile typographic system, the design combines the centuries-old context of serif type with the dynamism of modern sans; challenging its own definition and questioning contemporary typographic expectation.”
Uh, wut? That’s an interesting way to describe a nice font.
