Zenpen website
I designed a website for showcasing quotes from various writers—past and present. The typefaces used on the website are Aesthet Nova for headings by The Northern Block, and Crimson Text for everything else by Sebastian Kosch. Button labels are in tracked caps from Open Sans.
The unique approach of the website’s typography is that it relies on justifying and hyphenating paragraphs—something that’s rarely used in web experiences, but often appreciated in book design.
The Zenpen project began in October 2024, but the idea was bubbling up many months before. From the website’s About page:
In this age of forgetfulness, Zenpen’s mission is to unearth valuable quotes of wisdom and knowledge and honour those who have contributed something genuine through written or spoken words.
