Font Faces

Space shuttle gardening, Ikea beer, superhero tech and more in our look at the web this week

“Baskerville,” “Myriad Pro,” “Times New Roman”—every font has a face. Thanks to Tiago Pinto and the “Type Faces Project,” font families now have dedicated portraits made out of meticulously arranged characters. Pinto effectively anthropomorphizes type, representing “Bodoni” as a moustachioed Italian and giving “Futura” the mien of a stylish male.

By using your iPhone’s GPS, Vyclone syncs with nearby app users to allow video sharing across devices. The iPhone app then allows users to edit videos using multiple angles shot on multiple devices, offering a creative option for collaboration and making your shaky concert footage a tad more compelling.

Inked

Yayoi Kusama at The Whitney, LGA's new boutique, Xbox aquariums and more in our weekly look at the web

Chinese born, Japan-based artist Pinpin Co draws intricate and potentially disturbing designs directly on her subject’s skin for a uniquely powerful display. Sketched with a 0.38 ink gel pen, each piece takes on a life and history of its own as Co develops a relationship with each subject. An exhibition of the work runs through 16 July at BankART Studio NYK in Yokohama, Japan.
