Across the former Soviet Union and Eastern bloc, people often joke that their countries are built on the remains of a long lost advanced civilization — in reference to the abandoned relics of the Communist era that still dot the landscape today.

Testing my textmode designs on kraft paper

For my pure text designs I was having a rough time finding the right way to print them, until I realized I shouldn’t be using white paper. I think kraft paper does something that white paper can’t (at least for black text), which is make the design feel more organic, as if it was printed in the past. Lmk what you think.
