Colophon

^{Last Updated: 16 June 2026}^{You can find an extended description of how I design colophons on the KJR Studios site.}

Color

#b96coe

#d5a53d

#fff9ec

#000000

While culling through my father’s archive, I came across this sheet of aged paper and was so taken by this color that reminded me of my childhood home.

Type

The main font comes from the Hershey Noailles typeface family. The subset used here is Old French. It is a serif. Thank you Neta Bomani for introducing this typeface to me through her website design.

“The Hershey fonts are a collection of vector fonts developed c. 1967 by Dr. Allen Vincent Hershey at the Naval Weapons Laboratory, originally designed to be rendered using vectors on early cathode ray tube displays. Decomposing curves to connected straight lines allowed Hershey to produce complex typographic designs. In their original form the font data consists simply of a series of coordinates, meant to be connected by straight lines on the screen.” Source

The secondary font comes from the Apfel Grotesk family. The subset used here is Regular. It is a sans-serif. This font was designed by Luigi Gorlero and released in 2019.

Accessibility

I am grateful to Yone’s colophon (which, in a fun referential way, cites my colophon) for the language and resources to prioritize accessibility.

Specifically, my goals for 2027 are the

inclusion of alt text using the Alt-Text as Poetry framework, which will allow users to make use of Generics of keyboard navigation, as well as the Chrome alt text viewer extension and the Firefox alt text viewer extension.

Viewing

The site is best viewed on a desktop. I have made many mobile-friendly changes; however, things are still wonky.

About Code

This website uses Cargo Collective as its content management system (CMS). A CMS is software that enables users to design, manage, and publish digital content. I have used Cargo Collective since 2011. Within this CMS, content is formatted using a WYSIWYG editor and blank code fields for custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Even with the ability to include custom handwritten code, it functions slightly differently because this CMS uses an overlay programming language integrated with the WYSIWYG and its server (which hosts all my media files).
