🧠 What if the secret to creativity is... misspelling words? In Ep 2, @simplebits joins us again to talk about: → Naming fonts “Turbo” (but make it wrong on purpose) → LEGO-built logos → Puppets, orange peelers, and imposter syndrome It’s the creative constraint episode you didn’t know you needed 🎧 youtu.be/DlTZBx1zyjs?si=Kar0…

Ordered a few fun stickers from @simplebits and was pleasantly surprised with a bonus of wildflower seeds and some other fun Tid Bits (that’s what you should call this, Dan)!

If zig-zaggy crossbars are too much, #sbfonts Hubano has boring alternates.

Our latest typeface, Hubano, inspired by Cuban cigar box lettering is now available. All-caps, extended language support, two styles: Regular and Rough. It was a blast zig-zagging those crossbars! #sbfonts

I'll often design a physical good as a specimen for these type releases, and for Hubano we made matchbooks—but instead of matches, they have 10 plantable, wildflower seed sticks. I'll probably throw one in with any goods order for a bit ;-) #marketing simplebits.shop/products/hub…

Reworking an older design with #sbfonts Paint Factory. Might need to slap this one on some goods.

Had some plates made featuring #sbfonts, waiting on a base for our letterpress. We’ll doing some new prints soon, and I’m excited to continue making things by only knowing about half of what I’m doing.
