Website design

This website’s creative proccess.

Web and font accessibility

Basic considerations when designing accessibility and typography choices.

Accessibility

  • The text is structured into headers and paragraphs.
  • The letter is large with a good line height.
  • Images include descriptions.
  • Pages include hyperlinks to improve site navigation.
  • When pages contains a lot of information, an index is prepended.
  • Colours are suitably contrasted.

Fonts

The website pages use the Luciole font, licensed under the CC BY 4.0. The logo is built with Digitalt and Piscolabis, both licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL).

  • Luciole developed explicitly for visually impaired people. Thank you to the Regional Technical Center for Visual Impairment and typographies.fr
  • Digitalt for the letter “LIBERA” in the logo. Thank you gluk (Grzegorz Luk) of Gluk Fonts.
  • Piscolabis for the letter “LIBERA” in the logo. Thank you Ariel Martín Pérez from Tunera Type Foundry.

Graphical elements

The letters “I” and “B” from LiberaForms have been modified to make a butterfly, an organic, lighweight and pollinating creature. Below the butterfly is a corkscrew that suggests movement.

When inclined, the “I” of the butterfly looks like a smile, and the “B” looks like a heart.

Geek trivia

After designing the logo we realised we had seen that butterfly before.

Photo of RMS as a young man playing a flute to a butterfly rested on a server.

What a coincidence!
