Contemporary Wood Burners

Wood stoves may appear the same on the outside but closer inspection will reveal significant changes to increase efficiency and clean air emissions. This is a great news for homeowners.

Open fires release carcinogenic particles into the air. By upgrading to an Ecodesign and Defra exempt wood stove, you can stay clear of these harmful particles completely.

Futura

The Stovax Futura 5 woodburning and multifuel stove is an Eco-design Plus ready, DEFRA exempt for Smoke Control Areas stove. It features a large expansive viewing window and stylish stainless steel air control. This contemporary wood burning stoves design is perfect for modern and traditional homes alike. It also has convector heating technology that is up-to-date and has heat shields that are integrated to maximize the amount of heat returned into the space.

The name "Futura" refers to its geometric sans-serif designs and low-contrast strokes, even widths. The font was designed by Paul Renner, and first commercially released in 1927. It was an immediate success and soon found its way into magazines, newspapers and books, and also onto posters and the logos of many major corporations.

Like all fonts, Futura has evolved over the years as styles of typography have changed. The font's spacing and letter forms have changed over time but its overall aesthetic hasn't. The font has also been adapted to work well with different languages. The addition of a Latin alphabet made it more adaptable. Since then, many type foundries have changed their designs and updated the style.

While the majority of modern fonts are influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is a perfect example of a design that is a model for the future. Its simple lines and smooth edges make it easy to read and easy on the eyes, and its retro-futuristic style is evident in the use of it in 2001: A Space Odyssey and for the plaque left by the Apollo 11 astronauts on the moon.

Its simplicity and legibility made it suitable for both advertising and editorial design. Its use in both these fields helped to make it a success. In the past century since its release it has grown to become one of the most popular fonts ever created. Its popularity led other designers to develop fonts similar to it, and in the present it remains one of the most popular fonts.

The font's geometric designs and clean lines inspired an entire generation of artists. Shepard Fairey and Jenny Holzer both feminist artists have used it in their work. In the 1960s and 1970s it was the font of choice for political protest art and was believed to embody the idea of progress and modernism.

In the 1980s typographers started using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Futura's letterforms were distorting in some instances. It was also common to use typesetting to alter the shape of a letter, or alter its size. This caused many mistakes and distortions that were sometimes difficult or impossible to correct. This was especially the case when incorporating ligatures, which required very precise adjustments to the heights of certain characters.

Vogue

When Madonna sings, "Come on, vogue, let your body move to the music" she is not only promoting her hit song but also a style of dance that is now part of pop culture. Voguing is a form of expression for a variety of people. For others, it's an act of rebellion against social norms and empowering marginalized communities. Voguing is deeply entwined with subcultures, fashion, and music. It has gotten its inspiration by beauty and dance movements all over the world.

Since its debut that was published in 1892 Vogue has been at the forefront of fashion and has established itself as a global authority on innovative image-making, great journalism, and discovering new talent. The magazine's coverage is based on diversity and inclusivity and is an iconic name in the fashion industry. Vogue is now a multi-platform magazine that views the world from the perspective of fashion.

Vogue is published by Conde Nast and covers style news in the fields of haute couture fashion beauty and culture, as well as living. The editors-in-chief for the international edition are American Vogue's Anna Wintour, Emmanuelle Alt (French Vogue), Franca Sozzani (Italian Vogue), Alexandra Shulman (British Vogue) and Aliona Doletskaya (Russian Vogue). In addition to Vogue the company also publishes Teen Vogue, a version that is geared towards teenagers, in the United States. South Korea and Australia also publish the Vogue magazine. Vogue Patterns is a line of sewing patterns for women that is owned by the company.

Founded in 1892 the magazine initially focused on high society and ceremonial life. It first appeared as a weekly newspaper before becoming a month-to-month magazine and then an annual in the year 1909. Conde Nast purchased the magazine in 1916, and transformed it into a fashion bible for women.

The Vogue of today is aware of its place in the world and keeps its audience active with articles that examine the political climate as well as social issues that are important to readers. British Vogue for instance included NHS workers on the cover during the 2022 pandemic.

Yale digital humanists and researchers are dipping into the rich digital record of Vogue using a program dubbed Bookworm which is similar to Google Ngrams. It compares words such as "frock" or "dress" that are used in the magazine across time and by different editors. The results help researchers monitor the shifts in cultural norms and ideas through the changing language.
