Here, you can enjoy the safe and warm wonders of what the world was promised to be...
What is this place?
This is our home! Our little world to revel in the lovely displays and aesthetics of Skeuomorphism and Frutiger Aero!
But what is Skeuomorphism?
Well, Skeuomorphism is a design concept where digital elements mimic their real-world counterparts through visual cues like textures, shadows, and shapes to make them feel intuitive! Skeuomorphic examples are things such as the old app icons and wallpapers for the iPhone, or the glossy glass-like look of the Windows 7 UI!
I see. What's the origin of Frutiger Aero?
According to the Frutiger Aero Archive, the word "Frutiger" comes from the typefaces of the same name designed by Adrian Frutiger, a Swiss typeface designer responsible for fonts commonly seen in airports, transportation, and train stations. Those fonts would inspire computer fonts during the 2000s, notably Segoe UI which was used in Windows Vista onwards. The second part of the aesthetic's name "Aero" refers to the design guidelines for Windows Vista and Windows 7, which embraced a futuristic, glossy, and transparent glass look.
That's so cool! Frutiger Aero has such an interesting history behind it!
