Diagrams and type

The two Journal diagrams and the guides in the Aediris concept sequence are editorial illustrations. They describe comparisons and ideas, not measured analysis of an artwork. The record diagram and earlier interface studies are retained only as working material. Archivo by Omnibus-Type and Bodoni Moda by Indestructible Type are hosted locally under their SIL Open Font Licences.
