Designing with real content is important, but sometimes we need something more abstract. Flow aims to provide an efficient and flexible way to create abstracted/placeholder content in your designs.
Nice work, Dan. I've tried others (Blokk) but just bought yours and it looks great. Web fonts included is appreciated, too.
For those asking "what's this for"... it's OK in wireframes, but I also find this useful in several ways. E.g. If you want to show an interaction and keep ppl from getting caught up on the actual content (it's more effective than dingbats or saying "ignore the copy", IMO).
Or when I am looking for very pedantic feedback -- ppl get that it's "words" but they don't have to pay attention them.
It can also be useful to swap out all/some live text on a site or app to get a kind of "squint test" (gut check visual hierarchy, evaluate just the UI labels, etc).
Hey everyone, I'm Dan.
I'm a designer from Australia, now living in Canada. Design tools are my passion, and I wanted to share my latest project with you.
Flow is a typeface built for wireframing. The font comes in three weights – circular, rounded, and block. It’s a little project I’ve been working on, and I'd love for you to take a look.
