#StationeryThe typography of 1970s Italian book covers
I found this at a flea market in Rome. The thing that stopped me was the way the designer used white space and a single serif font across eight books.

The pattern tells a story — each knot was deliberate. Somebody made this to last.

#MiscA set of architectural arched doors with the angel numbers 77 in the most gorgeous gold font.
I was walking through downtown Chicago, hustling my way back to the train for the day, when I came across this set of doors. It had been a tough week and seeing this number repeated in such a gorgeous gilded font on these architecturally stunning doors absolutely stopped me in my tracks. For those not yet in the know, 77 is an angel number signifying spiritual development and breakthrough.
