Colophon

Typography: I mainly use EB Garamond by Georg Duffner, a beautiful free and open-source serif typeface based on the 16th century designs of Claude Garamond. In code snippets, I use Iosevka by Belleve Invis, a more than complete open-source monospace typeface that I severely underuse. And finally, annotations are set in Abby by "Your Own Font Foundry", a cute handwriting typeface (not free).

Technologies: This blog is built with Astro, I wrote a bit about this static website generator in a dedicated blog entry. Notable dependencies include Tailwind CSS for styling, expressive-code for code blocks, sharp for image processing, and medium-zoom for image zooming.

Inspiration: A mishmash of inspiring links, in alphabetical order, Aurélien Dos Santos, Edward Tufte, Erika, Gwern Branwen, Hundred Rabbits, Kalele (Vaughn Vernon), OlegWock, Pilcrow, Practical Typography, StaffEng, Stripe Press, Will Larson.
