The architecture of reading.

The Mission

We are a group of typographic engineers tired of seeing the same mistakes repeated across reading apps, web articles, and e-readers. The book has had 500 years of iterative design; the digital reading space is barely 20 years old.

"Good typography is like a crystal goblet. It should hold the content without obscuring it." - Beatrice Warde
