Featured‘OpenType’ is so underrated

It’s not uncommon for me to spend hours looking for the best font options for a new project because trust me, it does make a huge difference when you’re creating anything involving texts which is pretty much everything we see.

So I was browsing fonts for a song called “Beautiful Simple Day” on MyFonts and I noticed this font with this beautiful TI combination.

I have seen this a lot before in font preview images but it’s the first time I saw it actually generate a live preview font with a unique design element like that.

So after a few clicks, I realized it doesn’t look that cool on my computer!

So I dug deep and found this line “OpenType variants that may only be accessible via OpenType-aware applications.” which basically means you’ll get to select variants for available characters on “OpenType” supported applications. Which are like Illustrator and Word for example.

You can simply select a single character and it will suggest you the available variants.

And for applications that don’t support After Effects, you can copy-paste it from Illustrator or you have to turn it into a vector and bring it as a shape layer instead.

So that’s it. I have been drawing those elements by hand for a decade and this is like a fun little gift! If you didn’t know too please share it with a designer or an animator.

Btw, the font is called Bleach by Ronny Studio. Go check that out if you are interested.

3D scanning makes choosing lingerie easier, says Hong Kong store

A high-end lingerie shop in Hong Kong is promising clients a whole new shopping experience thanks to its 3D-assisted made-to-measure service. A 3D scanning mirror at Rigby and Peller’s takes accurate measurements of a client’s bust in less than a minute, supplementing the tape measurements taken by the lingerie stylist, who can then recommend the most suitable styles and colours for each figure and shape.

Fashion and technology merge to improve consumer experience

With the Internet revolutionising the way we shop, customers are increasingly avoiding dressing rooms, opting instead for the comfort of online shopping that usually offers liberal return policies. In a bid to entice customers back, some shops have been testing various amenities including so-called intelligent dressing rooms that allow users to “try on” different items without having to actually change clothes.

Going one step further, the recent Fashion Tech in Tel Aviv aimed at bringing together the worlds of fashion and technology to see how the two can work together.
