A collection of Art Nouveau doors from around the world
If you the Vintage News, then by now you have surely noticed their mild obsession with “Art Nouveau”, the gorgeous turn of the century style that makes everything look lavish, elegant and decadent.
So, go visit their virtual museum of doors — Source Steve Cadman on Flickr

Meet Type Designer Jim Parkinson
We featured Jim Parkinson in our 20th Annual Fonts Festival , and have returned today for a quick visit.
Parkinson has worked as a typeface designer and lettering artist for over three decades. His work has appeared in print advertising and on book jackets, packaging, album covers, posters, billboards, movie titles and signage.
Parkinson designs typefaces primarily for print, rather than electronic display, so how they look on paper is the key factor in determining a successful effort. he says
Display type is my forte … That’s what I do best. It’s type with tons of personality.

Google + Monotype: Noto Project’s unified font for all languages
Google’s bid to connect the world with its services is a multi-faceted effort that spans mobile services, search, maps, connectivity, devices and more. But today, it’s the company’s efforts in the world of fonts — perhaps one of the less celebrated, but still central, parts of that ambition — that is having its day in the spotlight.
Google, in partnership with font specialist Monotype, has taken the wraps off the Noto Project, a five-year collaboration between the two to create a typeface that applies to any language that now offers a single font style covering more than 800 languages and 100 writing scripts.
