Two voices: Archivo for the apparatus and the poster, EB Garamond for long-form reading. The three words of the identity (BARIL · ARCHIVE · 2012–2019) are drawn, not typeset.

The apparatus — Archivo

Reading — EB Garamond

15.5px / 1.6	texts in column 4: press releases, biographies, the poem — with true italics

Conventions: uppercase labels always carry .14–.16em tracking in muted ink; figures are tabular so they never dance while scrolling; italics appear only in reading.
