Minion is a serif typeface released in 1990 by Adobe Systems. Designed by Robert Slimbach, it is inspired by late Renaissance-era type and intended for body text and extended reading. Minions name comes from the traditional naming system for type sizes, in which minion is between nonpareil and brevier, with the type body 7pt in height. The design is slightly condensed, although Slimbach has said that this was intended not for commercial reasons so much as to achieve a good balance of the size of letters relative to the ascenders and descenders. The Minion Pro is an OpenType update of the original family, released in 2000. The update is based on Minion MM but features slight changes to the selection of instances and modifications of the font metrics.

In April 1992, Christopher McCandless arrives in a remote area called Healy, just north of Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Noting McCandless‘ unpreparedness, the stranger who drops him off gives him a pair of gumboots. McCandless travels into the wilderness and sets up a campsite in an abandoned city bus, which he calls « The Magic Bus ». At first, McCandless is content with the isolation, the beauty of nature around him, and the thrill of living off the land. He hunts with a 22 caliber rifle, reads books, and keeps a diary of his thoughts as he prepares himself for a new life in the wild.
