The rest of the page

  • HeadingsInstrument Serif

    goodthoughts

    Page titles, the wordmark and the menu. Condensed, so large words stay compact.

  • Metadata & interfaceJetBrains Mono

    No. 001 · Seneca · Letters to Lucilius, 13

    Catalogue numbers, authors, sources, labels and buttons, the parts of a library card.

  • Handwritten notesCaveat

    read this one twice

    Only for notes in the margin. Nothing else is handwritten, so a note reads as someone's own.

  • ArabicAmiri

    إنَّ الإنسانَ مدنيٌّ بالطبع

    Arabic quotes and names, whichever quote face is picked, since the others have no Arabic. Never tracked, with extra leading for the vowel marks.
