House Industries is a font foundry that puts out incredibly well-researched and well-executed collections, some of which celebrate design icons like Alexander Girard and Charles and Ray Eames. These collections help lend classic design aesthetics to the creations of modern-day graphic artists.

Photographer Jan Kempenaers traveled through the Balkans, capturing the haunting architecture and decay of long-abandoned monuments in the former Yugoslavia.

The word “legacy” can sometimes be laden with both the gifts and encumbrances that we receive from our ancestors. In this vein, I can’t help but think of my favorite summer read, East of Eden, and its complex family narrative, the recurring good vs. evil theme, and the hard-won salvation of the characters.

From James Wilson of Secret Forts:
“My dad was a runner. A marathoner. And when he ran, he always ran in New Balance. Period. Swore by them. Training the year before for the ‘84 New York Marathon (maybe it was Boston), he bought this pair of New Balance. They were a half size too small. Usually, he would fill a Ziploc bag with water, stuff one in each shoe and freeze them. (It wasn’t uncommon to find a pair of dad’s shoes right next to the ice cream.) His trick didn’t work on these and although at 8 years old, they were way too big, he gave them to me. I grew into them a few years later and wore them constantly. Twenty-eight years later, they’re a little worse for wear but with a few miles left in them.”
