The Brown Font is a sans font designed by a Swiss graphic designer Mr. Aurèle Sack based in Lausanne, Switzerland and released via a type foundry Lineto. He has chracteristic semi-condensed proportions with a touch of grotsque feel, especially in the capitals.

Corals are Animals

12/15 pt

Corals are often referred to as a foundational or architect species or ecosystem engineers for constructing the physical spaces where animals live However they are more interesting than that

12/15 pt

They are sometimes mistaken for plants with their branchlike features or rocks for the hard calcium carbonate skeletons some create around their soft bodies but they are animals! Though adult corals are attached to the ocean floor corals in the larval or baby life stage can swim! Small coral polyps h ave a mouth stomach and

stinging cells in its tentacles that are used like harpoons to spear floating plants and animals called plankton Like their jellyfish cousins corals have stinging cells to help them catch debilitate and eat their plankton and fish prey Then they grow and divide to form large colonies that are the building blocks of coral reefs Coral reefs are some of the world's largest living structures and can be seen from outer space

Corals are indicator species meaning they are very sensitive to environmental changes in their ecosystem

In great environmental conditions coral colonies have been documented to live for hundreds or thousands of years In perfect conditions researchers think they could live forever!

As one of the oldest creatures that were around at the time of the dinosaurs they are 500 million years old Since they grow very slowly at an average rate of just 2cm per year some of the corals we see today have taken as long as 50 million years to form This is why scientists are so concerned about warming water and other effects of global warming on coral reefs once they're gone their populations won't be restored within a human lifetime There is evidence that suggests coral reefs could potentially provide important

medicines including anti-cancer drugs and a compound that blocks out UV rays Do we really want to take that opportunity away from our descendants?

With the ozone layer depleting more and more each day they are going to need all the protection they need from the sun's harmful rays Possibly a cure for cancer and people are treating these living organisms like they are nothing

Coral reefs found in over 100 countries and territories globally underpin ocean biodiversity and provide important economic social recreational and cultural benefits Over 800 species of

reef building corals create habitats that harbour an estimated 32% of all named marine species excluding microbes and fungi - 91% of marine species remain undescribed! 37% of fish

are associated with tropical reef environments Recent estimates suggest that more than 90% of coral reef species have not been named and that total reef species numbers exceed 800 000

Koral font is a sans typeface with dissolving swirly elemnts to accentuated and create an ocean atmosphere of constant movement and uncertainity. This font has characteristic straight terminals and round overshoot letters.
