Type

Fraunces and Newsreader, both under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, self-hosted (assets/fonts, with the licence texts).

Covers and marks

The issue covers, the logo mark, the contributor monograms and the end mark are the original theme’s own SVG artwork, carried over unchanged. Covers and monograms are served as standalone SVG files with the site’s own Fraunces typeface embedded, so their lettering is part of the picture and each has a text alternative.
