Typeface for Arsenal, a New Home for Global Design & IKEA's Customer Journey

10 Things #366 cover artwork

Every link this week belongs to a crowd. A football club gets its own typeface, a design community gets a new home, a fan builds a Pokémon game nobody asked for, and status turns out to be an economy of its own.

The rest is about how things get made and found: IKEA mapping every step a customer takes, a head-to-head on automation tools, a case that craft is in trouble, and Matisse before the cut-outs.

Enjoy, 🛡️ Your Majesty
