😳 Mono cut of Arial

I wish I was in town for the @AREdotNA x @abcdinamo 'font download party'. Great excuse for design nerds to come together IRL.
You can still get Areal for free here though:
You connect your account and answer some prompts with blocks and channels. Sort of a window into your mind. Send someone a message, and it opens a private channel for just the two of you.
Meet someone, see what develops.
I hope you have fun with it.
No algorithm, and no upgrades because it only took like, six hours to make and runs on itself. Under the hood it simply spins up private channels and connects blocks. There’s no database.
There’s been a longstanding joke that should have a dating app. Connections is for finding friendship, collaboration, and all that based on collections.
If you know @AREdotNA, you know.
It’s where I go to do visual research, find good books, hot sites, sometimes solo and sometimes with friends. The thing that really makes what it is are the people who use it. is a very core group of people.
Today is our 15th birthday.
For 15 years, we’ve built and maintained independently with no institutional investors, sustained only by our members.
We (quite literally) would not be celebrating our 15 years if it weren’t for you.
Thank you ❤️❤️
