The purpose of this project is to encourage a conversation on climate change. In or-der for this to happen, the content had to be clear and easy to access, through an
entertaining interactive process.
The visitor to the site (built using Flash) will discover an illustrated spinning globe
of great detail, where he or she can discover diverse environmental concerns that
pop-up on screen when the mouse is scrolled over particular areas of the screen.

Vincet Figgins (1766-1844) was
the rst typessetter recorded
to have developed Slab Serif or
Egyptian typefaces. In 1815,
Figggins designed a font he
called Egiziano Black, its name is allusive to
its reminiscence of Egyptian hieroglyphics.
The sharp angles, created between the stem
and the solid and bold serifs of the letter-
forms, were particularly helpful when used in
larger scale. Since the letters hold a weight
that maintains their legibility even from
afar, making this typeface particularly ap-
pealing for advertisement purposes.
Later, in the year 1821, Figgins introduced
Monotype Ionic. A typeface inspired in the
classical Ionic Greek columns. The letter-
forms hold -as columns- a balance between
roundness, boldness and angular vertices,
which creates solid characters of easy read-
ability, thanks to their clean and scarcely
adorned forms. Differently from Egiziano
Black, Monotype Ionic is characterized by a
lighter weight, which makes it appropriate
for use as body text.
Figgins, worked as a punch cutter and desi-
gner at Joseph Jacksons foundry shop. After
Jacksons death, William Caslon III, acquired
the late Jacksons foundry. Apparently due
to Figins extraordinary skills, Caslon III
found himself at unease, prompting Figgins
to leave the foundry and look for patron-
age. Luckily enough, John Nichols, intimate
friend of Joseph Jackson, offered auspice to
Figgins, whom would remain grateful for
Nichols generosity through out his life.
During the early 1820s, fueled by
trial Revolution, a need to nd ty
