Design

Pages are typset in the clean and beautiful Palatino, designed by Hermann Zapf in 1949, and licensed from Linotype. This typeface is special to me because it was included on my childhood computer and used for all my personal writing projects early in life.

Menus, code styles, and other non-content metadata are set in Courier Round, a variant of Courier designed by Howard Kettler in 1955 for IBM typewriters. It is also licensed from Linotype.
