Speculative or hands-on, this discipline – if we can call it that – displays all the ambivalences of our contemporary lifestyles: superficial and profound, profane and divine, present everywhere and nowhere, and often regarded as futile, even though it could nonetheless destroy the most beautiful of insides. This book brings together a variety of intellectual tools and insights – polysemic and ambiguous, bespoke and improvised, ornamental and criminal, spanning media, technology, the arts and other, often undefined fields – that analyze the impact of the discipline on contemporary design. In the end, what makes Nothing About charming is that this inside – insofar as it is still defined as such – has only the humble ambition of accompanying beings, both animate and inanimate, within their environment, like a friend who is never far away.

🐘 🎀 𝐻𝒜𝐿 𝒯𝒾𝓂𝑒𝓏💗𝓃𝑒 𝒾𝓃 𝓊𝓈𝑒 🎀 🐘 FIG 5. Festival for Illustration and Graphics in Sofia, Bulgaria. June 2025 Design by Velko Kalchev @fig.sofia @velkokalchev The fifth edition of FIG. (Festival for Illustration and Graphics) took place in Sofia, Bulgaria, from June 6th to 15th, 2025. The festival’s motto was “The Art of Collective Practice” and it hosted numerous exhibitions, group shows, talks, workshops, concerts and screenings. “What happens when artists, designers, thinkers, and curators come together to reimagine the future of cultural practice? The fifth edition of FIG. – Festival for Illustration and Graphics invites the public to find out. From June 6 to 15, 2025, Sofia transforms into a playground for collective creativity, exploring the theme How We Work Together. This year, the festival is dedicated to collaboration in all its forms—intentional, subconscious, and even accidental—bringing together emerging and established voices from the contemporary visual scene to challenge traditional ideas of authorship and creativity.” We partnered up with the nice people of FIG and donated Timezone for last year’s edition. FIG 6 is coming soon! https://fig.bg/ Timezone Full Family has landed :) https://type.hanli.eu/timezone/

First BTS slider! How it happened. With a team lead by veryes and Tereza Mundilová, we took an awful sounding idea – a hot desert sun casting alphabetical shadows – very seriously and came up with this formula: Arizona = half sans, half serif
Arizona = variable font
Variable font = moving font
First moving image = moving horse
HorsegiirL = half horse, half human Conclusion: horsegiirL = Arizona. Done. That was enough work for the day. Team:

Happy release day! When first released in 2021, Arizona was the first typeface to merge multiple genres into a single unified family. Serif, Text, Mix, Flare, and Sans — all in one font file. Even the haters respected the move. Today, we’re returning to the dust-blasted highway of imagination by adding two Compressed and Condensed subfamilies to this very-able toolbox. For our first printed campaign, we brought in a special guest who embodies the same hybrid spirit as Arizona: Berlin-based DJ, artist and singer horsegiirL. We documented how this collab came about in our newsletter. If you live in Berlin, London or New York, please snap some pictures for us; there’s posters, and even some big billboards!! It’s a terribly exciting day for us <3 Team:

⏱️⏱️⏱️ HAL Timezone Extension Out on haltypefaces.com ⏱️⏱️⏱️ Timezone is a low-contrast, serif typeface, aesthetically inspired by early digital fonts, freshly transitioned from the photo-type era. A robust text font with high visibility and slightly rounded edges: the Uprights are sturdy and durable, while the Italics are more playful and dynamic, reminiscent of classical, antique serif faces. The full family spans six weights across 18 styles, including a complementary monospaced subfamily. Covering both Latin and Cyrillic scripts, Timezone also features small caps for all styles and languages, including numerals. No matter the size, task, or altitude: Timezone never sleeps. https://type.hanli.eu/timezone/ Free trial fonts here: https://type.hanli.eu/trials/ @studiohanli @alescieux @sashakulikov_
