The Mys­tery of Storytelling
Humans love stories. Maybe that is because for thousands of years, stories were the way information was preserved and passed on to others, to the next generations. Maybe because they create community and collective culture. Maybe because they capture our imagination and speak to our fears and our dreams. https://matthiasott.com/notes/the-mystery-of-storytelling

An Abundance of Inspiration
Redesigning this website over the weekend gave me a curious feeling. It was a deeply cozy one, as if my work sits on a continuum of all the other websites and books every made. As if my work is a link in a long chain through time. You’ll likely spot the inspiration right away: this redesign took an LLM copyright approach to Tschichold’s work and his rather beautiful designs for Penguin Books that are still iconic almost a century later.
