Isometric NYC — Architectural Love Letter in Code
An interactive isometric map that transforms New York City into a miniature diorama. Built with meticulous attention to detail, it captures Manhattan’s density and character through clean geometric forms—each building, tree, and street rendered with purpose. The kind of project that sits at the intersection of technical craft and artistic vision. Navigate with your mouse, zoom with the scroll wheel, and lose yourself in the compressed architecture of one of the world’s most iconic skylines. No gamification, no excessive UI—just pure exploration of urban form.

Buttered Crumpet — Wallace & Gromit’s Custom Typeface
Bristol-based type designer Jamie Clarke was commissioned by Aardman to create a custom typeface for Wallace & Gromit—and the result is delightful. Taking inspiration from Oswald Cooper’s original drawings for Cooper Black, Clarke developed a soft, low-contrast design with a distinctly hand-crafted feel. The serifs resemble loaves of bread, a perfect nod to Aardman’s tactile, playful world of stop-motion. With over 200 characters covering all Western European languages, “Buttered Crumpet” gives Britain’s most beloved claymation duo a warm, timeless voice that works across film, print, and digital.

Today’s vibes
Liquid bass textures dripping through shadowed frequencies—Rand Aldo builds something weightless and melancholic here, a track that floats between dubstep’s gravity and drum & bass’s forward momentum. The kind of sound that makes late-night drives feel like philosophical journeys.
