Contemporary Wood Burners

Wood stoves may look much similar from the outside but closer inspection reveals some significant changes to improve efficiency and reduce emissions of pollutants. This is a great news for homeowners.

Traditional open combustion fires release carcinogenic particles into the air. Upgrade to an Ecodesign or Defra exempted wood stove so that you can avoid harmful particles.

Futura

The Stovax Futura 5 multifuel and woodburning stove is DEFRA exempt from Smoke Control Areas, Eco-design Plus Ready. The stove has a large viewing window with an elegant stainless steel air control. This modern design is perfect for both modern wood burner and traditional homes. It also has a state-of-the art convector heating system that incorporates heat shields to maximise the amount of heat directed back into the room as well as a minimal distance to combustibles to ensure maximum efficiency.

The name Futura refers to its geometric sans serif shapes low contrast and even width strokes. The font was designed by Paul Renner, and first released commercially in 1927. It was a huge success immediately and soon found its ways into newspapers, magazines and books, and also onto posters and the logos of many large wood burner corporations.

Futura, like all fonts, has changed with the evolution of typographic styles. The spacing and shapes of the letters have changed with time, but the overall aesthetic remains constant. The font was also adapted to accommodate various languages. The addition of a Latin alphabet made it more flexible. Since then, many type foundries have updated and revised the style.

While many modern fonts are inspired by Art Deco designs, Futura is an excellent example of a design that has a positive influence on the future. Futura's simple lines and clean lines make it easy to read. Its retro-futuristic look is evident in its use in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the inscription placed on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.

Its legibility and simplicity lent itself to advertising, as well as editorial design. Its use in these two fields has contributed to its success. It has become one of the most well-known fonts over the past 100 years since its release. Its popularity prompted other designers to create similar fonts, and it's still one of the most used fonts around the globe in the present.

The font's geometric shapes and clean lines have inspired a new generation of artists. Feminist artists like Jenny Holzer and the Guerilla Girls took it into their work, and Shepard Fairey has also used it in his artwork. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the font of choice for political protest art because it was thought as a symbol of progress and modernism.

In the 1980s typographers started using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Futura's letterforms became distorted in some cases. Typography could alter the size or shape of letters. This led to many errors and distortions, which were sometimes difficult or impossible to fix. This was particularly the case when ligatures were added since they required a precise adjustment to the height of specific characters.

Vogue

When Madonna sings, "Come on, vogue, let your body move to the music" she isn't just promoting her smash single but also a type of dance that has become part of pop culture. For many the act of voguing is a sign of identity and freedom. Others use it to challenge social norms and empower communities that are marginalized. Voguing is deeply intertwined with music, fashion and subcultures. It is influenced by styles of dance and beauty movements from all over the globe.

Vogue, since its first edition in 1892, has been at the forefront of fashion. It has become an international authority in cutting-edge images and journalism, as well as spotting new talents. The magazine's coverage embraces diversity and inclusivity and is an iconic brand within the fashion industry. Vogue is now a multi-platform magazine that views the world from the perspective of fashion.

Conde Nast publishes Vogue, which covers style news and stories on high-end beauty and fashion as well as lifestyle and culture. Anna Wintour is the current editor-in-chief of American Vogue. Other international editors include Emmanuelle Alt, Franca Sozzani, Alexandra Shulman and Aliona Dóletskaya. The company also publishes Teen Vogue in the United States, a version aimed at teenage girls. South Korea and Australia both publish Vogue magazines. The company also owns Vogue Patterns, a line of sewing patterns designed for home use by women.

In 1892, the magazine originally focused on high society fashion and the formal side of life. It was later transformed into an aperiodical newspaper and a monthly publication before becoming an annual in 1909. Conde Nast bought the magazine in 1916, and transformed it into a fashion bible for women.

The Vogue of today is aware of its position in the world and engages its readers with articles that examine the issues of politics and society that will interest readers. For example, British Vogue included NHS workers on its cover during the pandemic that hit in 2022.

Yale digital humanists and researchers are digging into Vogue's rich electronic record with a program called Bookworm that is similar to Google Ngrams. It analyzes words such as "frock" or "dress" used in the magazine throughout time and by different editors. The results help researchers track the ways in which the norms of society and ideas have changed through the evolving usage of vocabulary.
