Design 

The Rodina 

 

Typeface 

BBB Baskervvol (designed by Bye Bye Binary et al.) and Amiamie (designed by Mirat-Masson et al.) are two post-binary typefaces. Go to https://typotheque.genderfluid.space for more information. 

 

CMS 

The Rodina is developing a minimal content management system using the Ruby on Rail framework. For the creation of the site, only open-source libraries, programmes and tools were used. This ensures that both the CMS and the site are kept simple and have a small ecological footprint. Additionally, we plan to share the CMS and website code under a Creative Commons license, allowing others to access and reuse it.
