The fonts are Fraunces (the serif) and Inter Tight (the body). The color palette is bone, ink, and a single accent of electric yellow. The whole thing is designed to disappear behind the writing, which is the only thing about a website that really matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notes from a small life of travel This is a quiet site about places that mattered and slow ways of getting there.
