This site uses ABC Camera, which was made by the good people at ABC Dinamo.

ABC Camera is a reinterpretation of light traps, which were originally used in the 60s and 70s to make text more readable on TV screens. Similar in logic to ink traps, light traps compensated for low resolution: When the font appeared, the screen’s blur filled in its holes so that each letter looked complete.

Ellis has helped us with how to put things into words. He was rightfully described as “Rick Rubin, but for founders”. Our first meeting at Little Dom’s in Los Feliz felt like a therapy session. While all the texts on this site were written by us, it was Ellis who helped us unlock how we tell our story today. Thank you Ellis.
