• The header font is Lucida Sans and the body text is Gill Sans Nova. I
chose this combination over the others because I like the balance
between the block like structure and the use of curves in the design of
the letters.

Key Word: Future
…
If you're not happy with the way of human progression
then be the light in a sea of grey
and this horrible game of modern day
you will no longer play
and instead serve now to define
a new society.

Key Word: Peace
Arrange my mind's galaxies and planets.
Sedate angry asteroids and burning comets.
Align for me my heart's constellations.
Clear the clouded nebulae in my intentions.
Turn the moon gently to look upon me,
So I may find the sea of tranquility...
Tonight.
Ryn “Tranquility” October 2014

Key word: Revolution
Come closer,
What do you see?
Look deeper,
There's more of her than what meets the eye
She might spell queen on her tongue
She might blind people with her glance
But don't believe anything you see
Explore further,
There's more to her soul than the physical shape
She might wear fire on her skin
She might imply strong on her wrist
But don't believe anything you touch
D. Awanis “In Her Wonderland” December 2018
