Fun times ahead for #Adobe designers. Today, if you open a PSD (even one that's 20 years old) with an obscure PANTONE colour, it will remove the colour and make it black. Pantone want US$21/month for access, and Solid Coated goes behind the paywall in early November.

Finally, a typographically sound argument for using ’s latest font. Can’t argue with the coffeetableability of a lowercase “o”.
![A comparison between the coffeetableability of “Nickel Gothic [Condensed]”, David Jonathan Ross’s latest type release, and “Other condensed sans serifs”. It is demonstrated that only upon the lowercase “o” of Nickel Gothic a coffee mug may be placed due to the flat top of the letter. The unnamed contestant is unable to support the mug, which subsequently drops down and spills its hot, brown, caffeinated content all over the floor.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FfWyEIVWYAAWRK7?format=jpg&name=large)
