Colophon

Body copy and headings are set in Newsreader, a serif built for long-form reading. Its optical size axis is live, so the letterforms are cut differently at 18px than at a 72px headline. Tags, dates and other small print use whichever grotesque sans the reader already has installed — no webfont, no extra download. Display headings use Vault Alarm, a self-hosted face from SimpleBits Secret Club.
