Welcome to the first issue of Dezign Sense! 🎉

As I mentioned, this visual, weekly newsletter focuses on enhancing a designer's sense of approach, choice-making and creativity in aesthetics and function.
Let's dive into this week's stuff. 👀

Today let us explore Aritifex Hand by Connary Fagen.
If you like this, you can also checkout other typefaces by Connary that pair well.
Small techniques compound and enhance your overall workflow in Design. Here are some tips that inspired me over the last few days.
Some systems, apps, products, plugins add significant value than others. Here are some you can explore this week.
FREEFORM by Apple
Over the past few months, I've tried Freeform app by Apple and it is one of the most exciting and powerful creator products to come from Apple team after Pages, Keynote or Notes. If you know Canva or Figma, this is a simpler, easier, free tool for penning down your thoughts spatially. My most favourite things about it are the interactions across devices and an ability to bring any file onto the canvas.
