Colophon

Typography

The body copy is set in Lora, a free, open-source serif typeface from Google Fonts. Lora is optimized for screen reading, yet works equally well in print. A contemporary serif text typeface, it is rooted in calligraphy with brushed curves counterposed with driving serifs. 

Headers are set in Neutra Face, a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Christina Schwartz for House Industries. It was influenced by Richard Neutra’s design principles and was developed with the assistance of Neutra’s son and former partner, Dion Neutra.
