So there is this title card for Falke before you fight her. And the font rose engine used there always fascinated me. Unfortunately the font can’t be found in the game files. So I decided it would be a fun project to take those five letters and reverse-engineer the font.

So I knew the font was based on a Transitional Serif form principle due to the rounded transitions between stem and serif. I had the dimensions for vertical and horizontal stems. Unfortunately I there was not a single round letter (O, U, Q, C, S, G), so I had to come up with my own idea how to the them. I decided to go for a pronounced shadow axis as the straight axis didn’t sit right with me. I mean, isn’t the game full of queer characters? ; )

When I looked through the game files at a later point I found this image. Well, turns out I guessed wrong with round shapes. They are a lot more straight then I designed mine : / I also learned that the style is probably inspired by the graphic design used in Neon Genesis Evangelion. There they just squashed and stretched Times New Roman or something adjacent. That is probably also the reason why the font wasn’t showing up in the game files.

Anyway, I still like the outcome and will continue working on it.

I also used this in a book layout and really liked it.

Recapitulating the week.

Added more pages to my website and worked on the layout some more: now there is a now page, about what I am doing, like Scott Boms put it on his own now page, now‑ish, a page about which tools I use to stay informed and mostly secured, and I have added a page linking to my friends.

That last part is sort of important, because of how important my connections are to me. Currently, most of the people on that page are from my graphic design study, but this will expand, with time, of that I am equal parts hopeful and certain.

I am also currently excavating the milieu around the book Creative Code by Maeda, with my eye already on Design by Numbers as well.

Autumn is here, with the Spätsommer’s last rays of a kinder sun, and as the outside air wafts in through heavy green curtains, I briefly understand that all things change, before I type on.

I wanted to write something about how it has been a long time since I have worked on my foundations for drawing, painting, and illustration, but I won’t.

I am moving on from judging, instead. I have been judging all kinds of things in all kinds of manners, and I am frankly just plain bored by it.

Have been playing Cyberpunk 2077 a lot, and I plan to play a lot more of it in the upcoming days.

I even bought two books about Cyberpunk: the artbook, and the pen and paper RPG called Cyberpunk RED.

I love Cyberpunk. The games. The genre lit I mostly avoid.

Riso-printed colors are kinda magical.

I made this as the documentation for my BA thesis.

Though I studied design I never really got good at creating professional product shots : ( It taunts me, but I keep telling myself that this probably has its own charm.

While I am loading up my handheld with music, I came across The Book of Ive talking about Solarpunk and how it relates to Cyberpunk.

At first I was passively listening to it, as you do while doing something more important but still need to occupy your inner gremlins, but then he mentioned a word I have not heard before: interpassivity, a word linked to Robert Pfaller’s philosophy of media, and also the title of his 2017 book, and I paused and took note.

And this is how the book and its topic is described on its page on De Gruyter:

“A radical criticism of current assumptions in the field of cultural theory today

Why do people record TV programmes instead of watching them? Why do some recovering alcoholics let others drink in their place? Why can ritual machines pray in place of believers?

Robert Pfaller advances the theory of ‘interpassivity’ as delegated consumption and enjoyment. Applicable to both art and everyday life, the concept allows him to tackle a vast range of phenomena: culture, art, sports and religion.

Pfaller criticises dominant assumptions, offers an escape from prevailing ideologies and exposes how cultural capitalism promotes commodities with the promise of happiness.”

Interesting take, right?
