NEW from IKEA: A font made of sofas
This newsletter was brought to you bySetappNEW from IKEA: A font made of sofas
IKEA just introduced the “world’s comfiest font.” Why? Memes.
Earlier this week, IKEA unveiled “Soffa Sans,” a font born out of the internet memes from its digital “Design your own sofa” tool. The planner allows people to configure different sectionals, and showcases the final product in 3D. IKEA doesn’t put a limit on the size (or cost) of these online couches, so of course the internet had a field day.
So IKEA — always the *hip* brand — made a font where each letter is formed by pieces of a sofa. You can download it for free here. Want more weird fonts? We obviously have got you covered. Some to check out:

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI
You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.
Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.
Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.
You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
