Just nice for no reason

These are some type tests of a font I'm thinking of buying, designed by Henrik Kubel.
It's completely beautiful, and a great story too.

The full range of typefaces are on the a2-Type website -

Also some notes on the book I'm reading -
Chernobyl Prayer, by Svetlana Alexievich.

Here's a link to the notes online

Some notes about structure, curation, oral histories, and the use of found, and discovered - discovering, stories.
and a photo of the book, my copy with breakfast.

I've missed - the magic rule, my new bone folder (plastic version, for folding)
and Ted Hughes.

I was reading this yesterday, I like the idea of collected, collections, fragments, and short pieces, curated, and uncurated -
uncollected. Sections, parts of the whole.
Pieces. Notes -
and breakfast notes.
Here are the images -
