I’ve read my fair share of travel articles, more of which have provided predictably sensible and boring advice when it comes to packing for long trips. Like, “bring enough medication for the duration of your stay, since pharmacies are hard to find”, or “bring detergent so that you can rinse out personal garments in the sink.”

LEAVING THE PARKING GARAGE AND TAKING A WALK TO CAMPUS,
Helvetica is still apparent in a few buildings and street signs but the type that takes control of most of campus’ building seems to be Futura.
