It has fantastic visual textures for graphics. You can use it to create an interesting visual statement or animation by combining it with a more readable font like Roboto. It is only available in one weight.</p><p><strong>Would readability become an issue? </strong></p><p>It can. While it’s readable, it’s not the clearest. It’s probably better to use it for large-size copies with a “graphic punch.” Avoid using it for important information. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture></a><figure class="sizing-normal"><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png"><figure class="post__image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png" sizes="100vw" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png 1456w" alt="Chaumont being used on a music poster; source: velvetyne" width="1042" height="1074" data-attrs="{"src":"https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a3a619dd-b414-443b-8084-a4ae6dfd01d8_577x746.png","fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":746,"width":577,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":null,"href":null}" data-is-external-image="true"></figure></a><figcaption>Chaumont being used on a music poster; source: <a href="https://velvetyne.fr/fonts/chaumont/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">velvetyne</a></figcaption></figure></figure></div><div><hr></div><h4>Design Idea of the Week</h4><h2>Found Objects</h2><p><strong>Do you save interesting objects you encounter?</strong> </p><p>It is a habit of mine to collect different currencies from the countries I traveled to. These things you collect can become design assets through photography and scanning to create additional textures, visuals for your projects. Using your own photography and interesting objects can be more attention-grabbing and authentic than using stock images and online photos.</p><div><hr></div><h4>Color Inspiration of the Week</h4><h2>Jackson Pollock</h2><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Pollock">Jackson Pollock</a> was known for painting like these, which is called “action” painting. He did things like using his body to paint, splashing paint directly onto the canvas. His painting was significant because it was direct documentation of his invented process. It made people pay attention to the ways of creation. </p><pre><code>Brick red #A15444 | Charcoal #2B2A2A | Mustard #CDC048 | Cobalt #4062AC </code></pre><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture></a><figure class="sizing-normal"><figure class="post__image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png" sizes="100vw" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa7ce024-ba0e-4744-9728-efcbe83a7161_1074x693.png 1456w" alt="Jackson Pollock’s painting;
