II · Type

Typography

Display. Libre Caslon Display carries the headlines. A high-contrast cut for paragraph-leading type.

Feature. Fraunces variable font for section headings, pullquotes, and deckheads. Axes in use: optical size, weight, softness, and WONK.

Body. Libre Caslon Text for long-form reading. Generous margins. A five-minute read should feel like five minutes, not ten.

Interface. Public Sans for labels, metadata, small-caps runners, and the quiet mechanics at the edges.
