Inspired By #110

Font: Rotina by Erik Marinovich

Hi! My name is Jan-Paul and this is where I share all the things that inspire me.


Rotina

At its core, it’s a versatile and reliable sans-serif, but also features a full suite of swash characters and a companion script, an expressive counterpoint to its serious side.

Efecto

Pablo Stanley made an app to apply effects to images, videos, or 3D models. You can export the code, capture an image, or record a video too.

(This inspired me to build a tiny image-editing tool too, although much simpler than Efecto)

Old Music Fridays

New music is cool... but have you ever heard old music? Owen’s enthusiasm, David Ruffin’s song, the horns, the bass, the energy… and then the way Owen breaks down the lyrics… I love it all. 🤗



That’s it, you’ve reached the end. Congrats!

See you next time! 👋🏻
