What’s in a name
anhvn
is the name of this website and should always be written in lowercase. Anh
is the name of the author and can be capitalized as normal. It’s spelled as ‘Anh’ and pronounced like the name ‘Ann’ (rhymes with ‘fan’).
Typography
The main site fonts are:
- Tiempos Text and Headline by Klim – the serif body font
- Polymath by OH no Type – the sans-serif supplementary font
- Jubilee by Off Type – for page titles
Some other fonts I use on one-off pages are:
- Hoss Round by PSTL
- Sfizia by Atipo
- Poppy Fineliner by TYPEHEIST
For blog posts that have custom designs, I list the fonts used in their respective endnotes.
I host a lot of fonts via Adobe Fonts.
Ethos
I’m interested in cultivating my own digital space that I control, away from social media networks. This website is the product of that. Some of my guiding principles are:
- Personal over professional: the primary purpose of this site is to be a personal space. I’m not optimizing for hiring managers or clients, though they’re part of my potential audience.
- Local over global reach: things should be meaningful to myself and the small subset of people who might care. I’m not trying to connect with as many people as possible.
- Gardening over architecture: I can organize (garden) as I go along; it’s better to have messy content to organize than to spend all my time planning instead of creating.
- Earnest over impartial: I am trying to be positive, curious and excited about what I’m doing.
