Colophon — how the issue was set.

Every issue ends with a colophon: the typography, the palette, the build, who set it, who proofed it, and where the source lives. This is that page.

Typography

Display: Fraunces by Phaedra Charles and Flavia Zimbardi (Undercase Type) — variable, with the SOFT and WONK axes flexed at masthead sizes for a Mutant Heritage feel. Italic at oversize for cover wordmarks and feature titles.
Body: Newsreader by Production Type — variable, opsz 6–72, wght 400–700. Designed for on-screen long-form reading; the optical-size axis means body type at 18 px is set at opsz 18, drop caps at opsz 144.
Mono: Departure Mono by Helena Zhang — pixel-display monospaced face used for kickers, cue times, ledger tables, and the cable-label strapping. Loaded via the Fontsource CDN.

Palette

The whitewash chalk paper + roadcase black foundation lives across the issue, with Lee 21 Gold Amber as the primary brand accent, gaff-tape neon yellow for caution, and signal red for emergency. Lee Just Blue makes occasional appearances as a cold accent in diagrams.

Build & deployment

The web edition is a static site: 26 HTML pages, one shared styles.css, one bespoke favicon.svg, plus images served from Picsum seeded by per-page topical strings. No JavaScript bundler, no transpilation, no build step. The site is deployed to Cloudflare Workers Static Assets with html_handling: "auto-trailing-slash" for directory-style URLs and not_found_handling: "404-page" for the 404 page.

The custom domain electrician-touring-nashville.ampifex.xyz is provisioned by wrangler at deploy time via the routes entry in wrangler.jsonc; DNS and TLS are managed automatically by Cloudflare. Live URL: https://electrician-touring-nashville.ampifex.xyz.
