About The Paper
Rob Swift is the personal journal of Rob Swift — essays, notes and dispatches, set in the dress of an old broadsheet newspaper. Established 2026, and printed whenever there is something worth saying.
It is composed in Astro and rendered to static HTML, so it loads in a blink and reads well in any search index. Posts are plain Markdown — written or pasted into the in-house composing room, or edited by hand in the repository.
The Type
Body copy is set in Inter; headlines and the nameplate in Playfair Display. Everything else — the rules, the columns, the drop caps — is an affectionate forgery of a century-old front page.
