I'm so proud of this project––the first big one I've been a part of as UX design editor here at @NatGeo! We dive into the incredible details of Tut's treasures, beautifully photographed and modeled in 3D by @SandroVannini. The dazzling type & ornaments are by Tal @typesupply 🤩
The stunning discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb 100 years ago opened a window into Egypt's golden past. Now the world will get a new look at the young pharaoh's riches. on.natgeo.com/3yQ2xnw

NEW: Smoosh is a hyper-compressed, aggressively high-contrast typeface with extremely pointy serifs designed to work in really large sizes, “when you want text to look important but not necessarily be read”. From @typesupply fontstand.com/fonts/smoosh

Allyship is not being nice to Black and Indigenous people, it is giving up power and privilege. It is using what power and privilege you have to dismantle systems that disproportionately affect Black and Indigenous people. Please don't buy me a muffin and think you are an ally.

The depth of my love for this brother, can only be matched by the depth of my pain learning of his loss. A immensely talented man with the ability to give voice to the human condition portraying the lives of those whose humanity is seldom elevated until he sings their truth.
