First thing I see on arrival in Aspen: my FF Meta, too openly spaced. Text on signs needs to be generously spaced, but this much.

@espiekermann Enjoy Colorado Herr @espiekermann. If you aren’t skiing, you might like the bauhaus / Herbert Bayer exhibition at Aspen Institute.

The Bold Meta is properly spaced, but too bold for reversed-out signs. And this shows how picking reddish colors for outdoors with lots of UV light is not the best choice

Be quiet, work hard, and stay healthy. It’s not ambition or skill that is going to set you apart but sanity.

Last week kicked off a 30-day mission to survey and remove derelict fishing gear and plastic debris from Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Literally *tons* of trash will be removed from coral reefs and other habitats. go.usa.gov/xMcdt

Just to show how small and too light this type is. It‘s less than 5 pt with enough space for twice the size. #fail @Apple

Design Rule 101 The era of human-centered design is now gone. Our existence was never human-centered, anyway. C19 proved that to be nonsense. It’s time for environment-centered. Not sustainability, but Regeneration, where we create not apart from Nature - but as a part of Nature.

Dive into Georgia O'Keeffe's It Was Blue and Green (1960) from the collection with David Breslin, DeMartini Family Curator. The painting, which was inspired by the topographies O'Keeffe saw from her airplane window, is on view in our seventh floor collection galleries.

A Leader Knows What To Prioritize Power can intoxicate a leader. The great ones stay sober because they know what to prioritize. Take Angela Merkel, one of the most powerful women on the planet. One writer said that her main weapon is that she is plain, modest, unpretentious.

Design Rule 131: “You’re taking this personally,” is the most tone-deaf expression a creative leader can say to a colleague. Of course they take everything personally. That’s why they’re good. If emotions are invalidated, key conversations will never happen. Banish the sentence.
