I'm Julia Allen, a designer in
Napa, California.
This blog is my place for
gathering and sharing inspiration.
It's also where I can
share ideas and processes for
my design & letterpress work.
(and sometimes, you might just see a posting for the rant, of just because a moment needed to be shared.)
Please feel free to say hello &
share your tendencies at

Inspired by master calligrapher M. Giovambattista Palatino, carefully crafted with Roman and Italian typefaces: Bembo and Goudy Trajan to celebrate his 10 year wedding anniversary to his wife that was spent in Rome.... utterly gorgeous!
A serious 12 month study on how to arrange typographical letters in the form of the coliseum. If this isn't just plain ol' beautiful and soulfully inspiring, I don't know what is! Thank you Cameron Moll (a designer, speaker, and author living in Sarasota, Florida). You've inspired this west-coast designer in ways that are so awesome!
