Love this elegant font created by the design team, NEWFLIX.Bro.  There isn’t much information on the studio except that they are a team of young people from Indonesia passionate about design, technology, illustration and typography.  The font, Valky, is a classic modern typeface that draws inspiration from lovely vintage serif typefaces. It comes with a wide range of beautiful ligatures as well as plenty of special alternative glyphs and ornaments. It’s perfect for many projects packaging, magazine headers as well as for personal use.  

You can see more of NEWFLIX fonts here on Behance.  The Valky font can be downloaded on Creative Market.

Pochibukuro

December 17, 2020 12:03 AM \
Whenever we travel to Japan we always bring back a few of these paper envelopes.
They’re called Pochibukuro traditionally used for children’s monetary gift for the New Year.
Now they are being used for other purposes, tip for service rendered or an envelope to enclose a small message.  We found this tutorial for making a cloth envelope but the same pattern can apply to paper.

Matthew Ward

Matthew Ward is a self-taught ceramist. The Brooklyn-based artist comes from an artistic family. His father was a graphic designer and painter and his mother was a photographer. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum School in Boston where he trained in painting and sculpture.  He pulls inspiration from the 1940’s and 50’s, where he sees that the work was simpler and yet had exciting developments. On an article in Glaze Magazine he says this about his work: 

“My work is very pattern oriented I don’t think it’s very complicated… It’s very simple and it’s very relatable. People can get it right away, the forms are very straightforward. I think that was just my appreciation for the minimalist movement in sculpture and in painting just having that reference.”

More of his work can be found on his website and on Instagram.
