...is for Merriweather

Merriweather was designed to be a text face that is pleasant to read on screens. It features a very large x height, slightly condensed letterforms, a mild diagonal stress, sturdy serifs and open forms.

The Merriweather project is led by Sorkin Type, a type design foundry based in Western Massachaussets, USA.

...is for Windflower

A Windflower, commonly known as the Wood Anemone, Smellfox, or Crowfoot, is a species of the genus Anemone. The flower has no honey and little scent, and apparently relies little on the visits of insects for the fertilization of its one-celled seed-vessels.

Windflowers are a group of perennials with colourful poppy-like flowers that flutter in the breeze. Flower colour varies widely, but the blossoms are generally two to three inches in diameter with thin, delicate petals.

The Windflower flower symbolises protection against evil and ill wishes. Forsaken or forgotten love and affection.
