Description

Vollkorn is the German word for ‘wholemeal’, which designer Friedrich Althausen felt described this ‘dark, sturdy, and grainy’ serif well. It offers six weights, small caps, and a number of OpenType features, making it perfect for (to stretch this analogy even further) everyday, bread and butter usage.

Paragraphs

font-weight: 400

But how could we fail to see that there is an infinite regress here—if we do not accept, as Kantian and post-Kantian philosophies do, a “supersensible” domain of freedom, outside of the world and its physical determinisms? According to them, the free sub­ject is an absolute origin, a first agent capable of creating first causes, who initiates new causal chains ex nihilo, independent of the rest of the world. —Henri Atlan, Is Science Inhuman?
