Objects and other things we're collecting

Structured softness. The cold weather has really settled in, and we’re reaching for a hint of warmth, softness, and playfulness. Here are a few things that we’ve been into recently.

GT Canon
A new release from Grilli and a bit no-nonsense (perfect for January and mother winter), Canon is a serif that “…aims for modern functionality rather than stylistic reinvention.” Built on digital drawing logic with a La Croix level nod to the pen, Canon is setting out to be a new reference point for serif typefaces.

Shades of halftone
A deep, hands-on exploration of creating halftone effects using shaders (GLSL) for the web. Like GT Canon, this halftone shader concept pays homage to the past while combining analog technology with the digital world to push creativity in a new direction.

Coat
Neutral. Clean. Slightly boxy. This chore jacket, inspired by a vintage find, is the kind of piece that makes everything else feel intentional.

Hobonichi Techno 2026
While this specific iteration is sold out (with no restock planned…sad), these very popular journals keep us inspired to get things done, even though the weather makes us want to stay in bed.

Rite of Way
A contemporary fragrance brand that feels atmospheric without being overwrought.

A Dictionary of Color Combinations Vol. 1
Forever relevant but recently discovered. A source of inspiration for so many types of projects, this pocket-sized manual of color will be endlessly useful.

Highlighted text with CSS gradient
Another analog gone digital moment. This CSS gradient effect is a playful way to organize information or call out specific elements in a CTA or something similar, as a new iteration of the penciled underlines and circles we’ve seen.

Gravity effect
Will never get tired of effects like this. Not a fan of the noises, but glad to have a reference to hold on to for later projects.

Cloud generator
Endless entertaining? Absolutely. This could absolutely be repurposed to create a great landing page for a website. There is an opportunity for a fun discovery moment or just a background animation for visual interest.

Interactive Liquid Gradient using Three.js
Gradients are still all over the place but we think that it’s always a good idea to change it up where you can and this subtle liquid vibe is feeling good.

Text frame border animation rotation
Fun take on a text marquee? Sign us up. Reminds us of some of the elements from a reverse engineer we looked at on the paper company GF Smith.
