Set in Newsreader (Production Type & Design, 2021, distributed via Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License) at variable optical-size axis 14–144 and weight axis 380–800. Display set in italic; body set in roman with oldstyle figures and hung punctuation. Numerals set in DM Mono (Colophon Foundry, 2014) at 9.5px small-caps for technical metadata.

Diagrams are bespoke vector specimens — five plates authored for Variant B in the woodcut tradition of the Whole Earth Catalog (1968, Stewart Brand) and five dieline specimens for Variant C in the tradition of Stripe Press editorial publications.

Photography commissioned for Variant A in the Salgado / Patagonia / Aesop documentary register and for Variant D in the Penn / Bloomberg Green specimen-photography register.

Edited and produced by Fresh Earth Studio, working as a studio of designers, photographers, copy editors, and a typographer. Each round was reviewed by a working group of senior critics and signed off by an independent creative director outside the studio.
