I so appreciate DJR’s honesty here; this is extremely relatable:
“I haven’t been on top of my game this month. I know I had mentioned the italics I was working on for Lithographer Text, but I couldn’t bring myself to go through the focus-demanding, detail-oriented work of finishing them. I will send those fonts to you someday, but today is not that day.
“Instead, I desperately needed a reset. I wanted to start something new, where I could lower the stakes, move fast, and have fun.”
I’m a fan of this “sliced” genre (e.g., Novarese’s Stop), and of abstraction and experimentation in general, and Megawarp is indeed a lot of fun.
