Pangram Pangram Drops an Alpine-Inspired Type Family
Montreal foundry Pangram Pangram just released Neue Gstaad, a 112-style typeface designed by Ian Party and named after the Swiss alpine resort town.

Build Glass That Bends Video, No Lights Required
Three developers at studio Shader published a full breakdown of their "infinite liquid glass grid" — a browser carousel where video refracts through fake glass cards on an endless, edgeless loop, built entirely with WebGPU (the browser's newest graphics engine) and TSL (Three.js Shading Language, a way to write visual effects in code). No actual lighting exists in the scene — every reflection is faked with math.

After Effects also got a beta AI Assistant that can reorganize projects and build motion effects from plain-language instructions.
