Colophon

“Colophon” comes from a Greek word meaning ‘a summit,’ ‘top,’ ‘finishing.’ It is a description of the details and methods behind a publication, often found on the last few pages of a book.

Typography

The Urban Gateways logo was set in Byrant. The body text of the site was set in Helvetica. Page titles utilize SiFR to render out text in Arial Rounded Bold. The secondary navigation contains two font usages: the title is in Rockwell Bold and the navigation options are in Trebuchet MS. Artist testimonials make use of Georgia. Helvetica, Trebuchet MS, and Georgia are web safe fonts.
