Colophon

How this site is made

A colophon is the note at the back of a zine about how it was made. Here is ours.

Type

Headlines are set in Bricolage Grotesque, body text in Literata, interface text in Atkinson Hyperlegible, labels in Space Mono and handwritten notes in Caveat. All are released under the SIL Open Font License and served from this site.

Colour

Five colours borrowed from risograph ink drums, on a cream paper ground. Headlines are printed slightly out of register, the way two-colour riso prints often are.

Diagrams

The diagrams are vector drawings made for Quillfold Studio, inlined directly into each page so they stay sharp at any size and load without extra requests. The same diagrams appear in the handbook.

Build

The site is plain static HTML built with Astro and hosted on Cloudflare Pages. There is almost no JavaScript, no tracking and no cookies. The printable bonuses are PDF files generated from the same templates as the book.
