Countdown DayCredits
Typefaces
Headings and titles are set in Newsreader, by Production Type, and text and numbers in Inter Tight, by Rasmus Andersson and the Inter Project Authors. Both are used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 and served from this site. The printable countdown card uses Geist, by the Geist Project Authors, under the same license.
Photos
Each countdown, tool and guide page has one photograph. They are real photos, not generated images. Every photo is credited on the image itself, with a link to its page, and in the list below with its license. Photos from Unsplash are used under the Unsplash License. We resize them and add a light, even warm tone; the subject is never changed.
Dot calendars, charts, rings and tables are drawn from our own calculations. Interface icons come from the open-source Lucide set (ISC license).
