Theodore and Scarlett Font by Keithzo
Theodore and Scarlett is a bold display font by Keithzo, available on Creative Market and Creative Fabrica. It combines heavy, chunky letterforms with a modern retro attitude and softly rounded corners. Its defining feature is an interlocking, nested ligature system that lets smaller characters stack inside or beneath dominant letters, producing a custom-lettered look. It’s best suited to logotypes, packaging headlines, and merch design, and less suited to body copy or small print sizes.

Amigável is a new geometric sans from Latinotype, designed by Sofia Mohr, built around a seven-weight range with matching italics and a full Variable Font. Its standout feature is a set of single-storey and double-storey alternates for a and g, letting one family shift between a friendly, expressive tone and a more structured, conventional one. Generous x-height, open counters, and low contrast keep it legible from UI labels to packaging copy.

Casa FJ in Portugal
Casa FJ is a residential project by MIL870 and GRAUON in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, photographed by Ivo Tavares. Part of a 28-house semi-detached development, it keeps its street façade aligned with the ensemble while spreading across two plots internally to house a couple with two children. What began as an interior design commission grew into a full architectural proposal, delivering a ground floor built around social and leisure space (four-car garage, office, gym, living room, kitchen, and a pool-facing second lounge) and an upper floor dedicated to private rooms (master suite, two children’s bedrooms, and a guest room overlooking a double-height living space).

Adobe Stock AI Studio vs. Canva AI vs. Creative Fabrica: Which AI Editor Actually Wins?
Adobe Stock AI Studio wins for teams licensing commercial stock, thanks to its edit-before-license model and Agentic Stock Workflows. Canva AI (formerly marketed as Magic Studio) wins on speed and volume for non-designers, led by its new conversational design layer, Canva AI 2.0. Creative Fabrica wins on raw asset economics for print-on-demand sellers, backed by unlimited downloads and a local-processing desktop app. No single tool wins outright—the right pick depends on where your workflow actually needs to commit money or license an asset.

The Eames Houses is the first comprehensive survey of Charles and Ray Eames’s residential architecture, covering all eight houses they designed between 1945 and 1955.

It connects the couple’s architectural work to their furniture, toy, textile, and film design, arguing for a single consistent design philosophy across disciplines.
