I love the ¶ paragraph indicators - Google says it's called Pilcrow? [1] - at the beginning of each section. It's a great typographic choice.

Reminds me of those legal documents where they obsess about formatting and labelling the sections. And by they I mean usually the junior/intern staff at the law firms who are stuck in the 80s with paper and faxes.

I used to do legal word processing back in the late 1990s. It was a real career for a lot of people who were not junior lawyers but actually legal word processors. Most of them had other things going on also alike acting or something.

But yeah turning on the display of things like paragraphs was critical if you were trying to clean up a Word document.

I just did a search and apparently legal word processor is still a real job.

Ah, never knew what ¶ was called. Thanks for calling attention to the typography of that site. Neat stuff!

Thanks! I love using less known typographic marks like pilcrows for stuff like permalinks, etc. hope you enjoy the newsletter :-)
