How this site is made.

EB Garamond by Georg Duffner & Octavio Pardo. A loving digital revival of Claude Garamond's 16th-century romans and Robert Granjon's italics. Set at 18–20px with 1.65–1.7 leading.

Source Sans 3 by Paul D. Hunt / Adobe. A humanist sans used for metadata, nav, and anything that shouldn't pretend to be prose.

JetBrains Mono, for the occasional code block.

Parchment (cream + muted teal) is the default. Four alternates — classic, forest, slate, terminal — live in the theme system. Each has a dark-mode twin.

LessWrong, Gwern, Craig Mod, Tufte, and a small stack of paperbacks on my desk.

Astro, TypeScript, hand-written CSS. No tracking. No cookies. No JS frameworks talking to each other.

A static build behind a CDN. The whole site is a few dozen kilobytes over the wire.

The newsletter goes out on Substack first, usually Fridays. Essays land here a day later. RSS at /feed.xml, sitemap at /sitemap.xml.

To every reader who wrote back with a note. To the friends who read the drafts no one will ever see. And to my therapist, obviously.
