Water Wave Typography

An interesting article that I just came across now, dealing with research into printing letters and simple Japanese kanji on a new medium: water!

The people over at Pink Tentacle wrote this article about the research.

It will definitely have some applications. The method is almost ingenious... well okay definitely ingenious, though it roughly creates "water pixels". Which I suppose as water elements would be called "wixels". More correctly it would be "watels" but wixels will probably gain more traction as a usable word.

There, you heard hear first... hopefully I just coined a new term.

Back up and running

Well Hellooooo everyone! Turns out I still have a blog after all. And this is it! I had a post from back in 2010 that I was moving articles from here to my domain (at the time), but I'm taking some time now to use the Internet Archive (the Way Back Machine) to retract the articles lost to the progress of time. That way there will be some useful info here when you get here! As always, follow me at on Twitter  @typegeek where I still post and I can also be found on Instagram as  @designtypegeek. Cheers and enjoy the upcoming weekend! -Rick
