Matriks 3 examples

Meet Matriks 3, a small monospaced type family specially developed for day-to-day use on screen. Meticulously build on a 5×7 matrix: five pixels for x-height, plus one pixel for capitals and ascenders, and another pixel for descenders.


By just moving one pixel at a time, the Matriks fonts (Dunglish for ‘matrix’), took shape. It is astonishing to see how far one can push the contours of the glyphs to sometimes weird graphics but still make us think we’re reading Roman characters! Special attention has been given to the bold weight. In fact, contrast in letterforms increases readability.

With more than 200 glyphs both weights contain a full Google Fonts Basic character set.

Now add this vintage typographic look to your font collection and get your copies for just 5.00 EUR per font. Just send me a DM: DesignIsFijn@iCloud.com or use this form.

World’s #1 puzzle

Cube

1974:
Ernö Rubik—a professor from Budapest in Hungary—wanted to help his students understand 3D problems. His solution? The Rubik’s Cube! Ernö created the first working prototype in 1974. With 8 corner blocks and 12 edge blocks, 8!×12!×38×212 different positions are possible. However, it is not possible to achieve every situation by twists:

  • Turns of corner blocks can only be done with at least two blocks at the same time
  • Side blocks can only be rotated with at least two blocks at the same time
  • Movements can only be made with three blocks at a time

Due to these limitations, the above value must still be divided by 2×2×3=12. Result: 43 252 003 274 489 856 000 (more than 43 trillion) in different positions. Only one of them is the right solution!

1982: The Museum of Modern Art in NYC selects Rubik’s Cube for its permanent collection.

2017: Rubik’s Brand enjoys a record year with retail sales reaching $250 million.

2021: For the trainspotters: as a big fan of this legendary puzzle (I solved it!) with its iconic design I have added a favicon of it to this site.

Ping (Pong)

Pong game

Pong is one of the earliest arcade video games, first released in 1972 by Atari. It is a two-player game based on table tennis [ping pong]. The game features simple 2D graphics. It consists of two paddles used to return a bouncing ball back and forth across the screen. The score is kept by the numbers at the top of the screen.

I recreated this game in Python. A tiny project to further develop my OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) skills.

Pong code

You’ll notice that there are several lines in this program that start with a # symbol. The words following the # are a comment, added to make the code easier for users to read and understand.

For the type geeks: Typeface used for writing the code is Operator; a very fit workhorse specifically engineered for the screen by Hoefler&Co.
