My typeface, Silex (www.myfonts.com/search?query...) is getting an upgrade. It's currently comes in roman, Italic and a stencil version of the Roman in one weight—Black. The soon to be published new version is variable on the weigh axis, ranging from Thin to Black,
Here's a sneak peak.

![The hand of dawn is in the eastern sky and now the shells fall thick and fast. Pandemonium is let loose and in anticipation of the day we enter our dugouts where we anchor in a metre of mud. And now the buzz of the telephone is heard. Faces brutalised by fatigue and misery light up a little while the corporal cries out that we are relieved but as I repeat the commandant’s orders on the wire there is an agony of silence. “Preparez-pour-l’assaut-á-midi-cinq” – and the artillery thunders until we can no longer hear our own voices. Death claims another hostage and yet another. The end of the trench has been blown up. The cook who sat there need[s] no gravedigger’s tools to make him a home. Who shall be the next? Who has a cigarette for after as the [] diminishes hope fan the smouldering embers in the next.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:haa74v4feowinvczksrdivfj/bafkreid3jpvacu6jtpgcp67tbgr3ennac6d7xo4l33xwt4y6blfvne5ff4@jpeg)

We’re pushing wildlife out of their habitats to build homes. Rare ecosystems that have existed for millennia are disappearing, and so are the plants and animals that depend on them. So what does it look like when housing policy *is* climate policy? Our latest 💌 thenarwhal.ca/newsletter-b...
