I started a new account — Street Typography @street.rakhim.org
Examples of interesting... words I guess (?) I found on random streets of random cities. Signs, graffitis, weird logos, anything that resembles cool typography.
All pictures are taken by me.

Roma, head of design of Evil Martians, is looking for his next gig.
We know each other for a long time, had endless discussions about font design, he is very meticulous, detail-oriented and with great taste. Martian Mono (his font) has been my daily driver for a while.
Can’t recommend him enough!

I’ve announced my departure from Evil Martians. I can’t express how grateful I am for 11 incredible years ❤️ But I’m excited for the next adventure.
I’m open to roles in product ownership, design engineering, or design leadership.
Let’s chat if something comes to mind!

Excited to announce the official launch of our online book, WebAssembly from the Ground Up! 🎉
It's the book we wish we'd had 3 years ago.
No messing with tools and frameworks. It's a hands-on guide to the core of Wasm: the instruction set and module format.

AI has revolutionized my workflow! Thanks to Google being garbage and LLMs generating random bullshit I get to read official docs and original open source code more often. 👍

Terminals or at least "ttys" are not modern. They are a chimera merging disparate properties of VGA, HDLC, and good old teletypes. I know I'm in the minority and always have been, but to me they are an anchor holding us back in our tech lives.
