Font "FUTURA PT"

The main font face for my website title and header is "FUTURA PT".

"Futura was designed for Bauer company in 1927 by Paul Renner.

This is a sans serif face based on geometrical shapes, representative of the aesthetics of the Bauhaus school of the 1920s-30s. Issued by the Bauer Foundry in a wide range of weights and widths, Futura became a very popular choice for text and display setting.

Originally Cyrillic version of eight styles was developed at ParaType (ParaGraph) in 1995 by Vladimir Yefimov. Additional Cyrillic styles were developed in 2007 by Isabella Chaeva. Simultaneously, the old eight styles were partly revised to match the whole family. 

Now the new Futura is an uniform type system, consisting of seven weights with corresponding obliques plus eight condensed styles. All these fonts are coordinated in letterforms, metrics, and weights to work better together."

Chosen for it's simplistic, yet modern /classic form.

Essentially Simple

Some quite personal items of mine. Ready for adventures both locally and abroad.

A vintage film camera, two beautifully and thoughtfully handmade goods from local businesses (Melbourne + Brisbane) and a classic set of spectacles.

Canon A1, circa 1978, film my choice. Old-fashioned and a little clunky. The end result is certainly worth it.

Camera strap by Chocolate Brownie Leather (based in Melbourne VIC Australia), natural leather ages beautifully and with loads of character, skilfully crafted by hand.

"The Traveller" by Burwood Handmade (Brisbane Qld Australia), another example of time, thought and skilled craftsmanship. I also love the smell of natural leather. 

Spectacles "Oxford" by Oscar Wylee, to help me see things that would otherwise be not easily seen. Black framed nerdish / hipsterish.

Field Notes rule-lined notebook by Field Notes (USA), a simple notebook for the jotting of notes, in the field. Styled, minimalistic design like the olden days. Just before WW2 I think.

Adventure time.

They say that those who haven't travelled have only read one page. I've read a few of this one. 

Picked up for a few bucks from a  thrift expo, I started reading it a while ago. Curious. South America, from what I've read and learnt about it's ancient history and modern cultures (partly unchanged). Sparking interest. For about 13 years I've enjoyed rock climbing on the Sunshine Coasts Glasshouse Mountain range. Adventure seeking adrenaline pumping. More mountaineering than climbing and such rare untouched natural landscapes, I look forward to visiting some item hopefully in the not-too distant future.

People, history, culture.
