HB Goblet A used for the @walkerartcenter Insights 2022 Design Lecture Series
Design by @erictimothycarlson and @vancewellenstein
Design Director: @emmetbyrne
Managing Content Producer: @jyuzna

Started in 2020, HB Goblet (previously named HB Manner) is an ongoing exercise in drawing different genres with a similar display-oriented treatment. A is loosely based on Folio, B is loosely based on Venus, and C has broader references to the humanist sans genre.
We’re uncertain how far we’ll continue with this or where it will end up, but we’ll continue to share HB Goblet’s development here in the future.
Trials and beta licenses for regular weights are available—please DM for requests.

This past summer we were excited to finally see the work we did for @momaps1 in person. In 2021, we had the opportunity to draw three families for the museum—a bold, condensed geometric sans with sharp details, a lively slab counterpart, and a workhorse text sans.
As proud former Queens residents, it was a huge honor to be able to work on this project, especially alongside such an incredible group of designers.

HB Items has a mix of references—it bears some resemblance to Times Condensed, but also has bits of Vendôme in its sharp serifs and terminals. Its design is an exercise in extrapolation, and started from the number "16-1" found on a sign while we were visiting Japan (35°40'17.8"N 139°42'05.9"E) in 2018.
We used the proportion and contrast from these two numbers to imagine, then draw out the rest of HB Items' character set—eventually adding additional weights and an italic.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
