Wallpaper of the Week - Chrome ABDZ

The wallpaper of this week is simple image I created so I could have a classic, old school plastic and chrome effect in my 3 monitors. I know the trend now is cute vectors with some textures, hard shadows and saturated colors but to be honest I love retro style, heavily inspired by the surface of my old Atari 2660 console.

 Bend is one of Juri Zaech’s recent fonts. It is a ribbon font with a twist. First, it doesn’t have serif like most ribbon fonts do. Second, it has a nice isometric 3D effect that comes with different amounts of layers depending on the use you want to make of it.

Bend comes in two widths and with three different layers for chromatic results. As a display typeface Bend likes to be set in big sizes and short sentences. Juri Zaech is a typographer based in Paris, you should definitely check out his other fonts too.
