Geek Out on This Einstein Font

By on June 9, 2015 in design, fonts, kickstarter

albertThere are just 3 days left on this Kickstarter campaign – where you can own a font that embodies the handwriting of Albert Einstein. German designer Harald Geisler and PhD physics student, Elizabeth Waterhouse have been diligently examining samples of Einstein’s writing to develop a beautiful geek-worthy font to honor the famous physicist.

This Harald Geisler’s second font project. He previously ran another successful Kickstarter campaign developing the handwriting font of Sigmund Freud. These folks know what they’re doing. The font is going to be pretty cool.

These font designers have put countless hours into the working font and need another few months of perfecting it so that it has a completely natural look when typed. For just $15, you can get this font as your very own. There are only 3 days left in this Kickstarter campaign, so if you want the handwriting of one of the most famous minds of the twentieth century, and to get some geek street cred, check it out before the window of opportunity closes. You can follow the campaign on Twitter.

Apple Watch meets Toughbook – but better

epikunderFor those of you who already have your own Apple Watch and cannot get enough of its elegance and wish there was a way to protect “The Precious,” – BOOM. Meet Epik. This rugged case for your Apple Watch is finely machined so that all features of the watch are still accessible, but without fear of damaging it as you go on your epic jaunts down mountainscapes or fighting off al Qaida or Sasquatch. The crown still turns, it can still see your pulse. You’re golden. Their Kickstarter campaign still has some early bird deals that are likely better than they’ll ever be when/if they start selling these outside of the Kickstarter deal.

They are not newbies in this field. This new Kickstarter campaign ends in a couple of weeks – so if you’ve got an Apple Watch or have one on the way – this is a sexy-cool accessory you won’t want to miss. It’s not cheap – but neither is a Lifeproof case – and those things are just plastic. For the same price as a Lifeproof case, you can get a pretty awesome, metal case for your new baby.
