The arch shapes that make up the vignette come from Shaun's geometric and now they have become a gateway of sorts.
We see through them to a new location and the grid pattern from the previous layers fades away. The photo is of a community organized in circles, it seems sort of agricultural and almost Roger Dean or Ursala K. LeGuin looking. Like a sci-fi, fantasy locale.
The whole vibe is very agrarian and with the headline, beautifully set in Clarendon, I think it's meant to set the table for a new start.
Or maybe it's Frogville from a blimp.
Note: I have always dug setting Clarendon in upper and lower case in large sizes. It's a joy to kern, the negative spaces it produces are organic and beautiful and the descenders frequently make surprisingly nice with the descenders above them. I dated Clarendon for a long time but alas, she never forgave me after that weekend hiking the Appiliachian Trail with Mrs. Eaves.
