Ryan Dombal's Daft Punk cover story for Pitchfork can be read and viewed in a special "dynamic" version. Make sure to visit the page, since the screenshots shown here can't do justice to the browsing experience which comprises a responsive layout with animated sequences, various scrolling effects and flipping characters that are reminiscient of flap displays.

Other quotes are set in centered Generika Mono, a narrow monospaced typeface by Alexander Colby. The characters constantly take turns with ones and zeros, which looks like a glitch on an airport panel.

The pull quotes are set in Colfax. Like the images in the sidebar, they swing into position when scrolling.

The primary typeface is FF Spinoza by Max Phillips (2011), with lead-ins in Colfax Bold. Pitchfork uses em dashes and traditional "curly" quotation marks, but a few incorrect straight apostrophes have slipped in.
