A preview of Proza, a typographic theme for Ghost. The essays, notes and pictures here show how it sets writing.

- The window A short note on looking out.
- Listening this autumn A pianist, a record label, and four minutes on a mountain.
- On reading slowly Against skimming, and for the long afternoon with one book.
- Punctuation personified A children’s book from 1824 in which the commas have feelings.
- Gardens, briefly A note from a summer spent mostly outdoors.
- A sentence I keep returning to Eight words from Emerson, and why they stuck.
- Writing in plain text Why my drafts live in the simplest files I can make.
- On margins The white space around a page is not empty.
- Five books for a long winter Old, unhurried books, all of them free to read.
- Walking in the rain A defence of bad weather and the people who go out in it.
- The commonplace book Keeping a notebook of other people’s sentences.
- A room to write in On desks, doors, and the furniture of concentration.
- Along the coast (III) The last day, and what the notebook turned out to hold.
