Colophon
A colophon is a publisher's emblem or imprint giving information about its authorship and printing. The word comes from the Greek Kolophon, meaning ‘finishing touch.’
Type
Origin uses Vegur Light for the logo, all major headlines (including page titles) and primary navigation. Body copy is rendered using Helvetica Neue (if available) or Arial. Introductory paragraphs are dynamically replaced with Vegur Light.
Administration
The website is powered by a simply, easily customized and managed CMS called GetSimple.
Dynamics & Effects
Dynamic text replacement is handled using Cufón. This enables us to use a specialized typeface without worry that it may not be supported on the viewer’s system.
Dynamics and effects are accomplished using the jQuery Javascript library. We prefer jQuery to MooTools due to the abundance of development, plugin support, and friendliness of its community.
