Last week I introduced some typography to the site, both as part of the logo and as some headline / pull-quote type images, each giving a little insight into my thoughts and hopefully brightening the pages.

For the font, I chose Diglossia from Discourse Type. I set out to find a Welsh font, and it turns out that Diglossia was both created in Swansea and with the Welsh language in mind. It takes advantage of Open Type features to include ligatures (two letters joined to form one) from the Welsh alphabet.

Visually its very appealing to me too, it reminds me of the work of artist David Jones, whilst also having a modern, clean feel.
