Behind the scenes
Colophon
How this site is made — words, pictures, type, tech.
A small editorial bench, one person on the byline, public source and public licences underneath.
- Editor & author
- **Nedim Hadzimahmutovic** — one person on one byline. Voice rules, attribution policy, and the cardinal rules live in [`CLAUDE.md`](https://github.com) in the project repository.
- Display type
- **Fraunces** — variable serif by Phaedra Charles & Undercase Type. Optical sizing 9 → 144, weights 300–700. Used for headlines, ledes, quotable copy.
- Body type
- **Inter** — humanist sans by Rasmus Andersson. Weights 400, 500, 600. Used for body copy, microcopy, kickers, navigation.
- Print companion
- The PDF booklets are set in **Pagella** (serif) and **Heros** (sans) — close cousins of Fraunces / Inter, chosen so the print companion reads with the same voice as the website.
- Palette
- Ink #0E0E14 Paper #FDFAF2 Cream #F0EADC Copper #AD5320 Teal #1B5757 Ochre #C89C5A
- Photographs
- Real photographs from **Wikimedia Commons**, **Unsplash**, **Flickr Creative Commons**, **Pixabay**, or venue-supplied "Used with permission" sets. Every image carries a verifiable licence and a named photographer (Cardinal Rule 2). No stock photo is ever presented as a venue it doesn't depict (Cardinal Rule 10/11).

- Hosting

- Source
- Open. Corrections welcome at **h.nedim@gmail.com** with a working subject line.
