Sites We Like: Aareschwumm, Steve’s Ice Cream, and Safari Surf
How are you keeping cool this summer? In this week’s sites we like, we’ve got a few solid suggestions for enjoying the season—whether you’d prefer to jump in the water, or stay on land with a cool treat.
In Bern, Switzerland, a summertime tradition is to go for a swim in the Aare river—provided the water isn’t too cold! Aareschwumm, which translates to “Swimming in the Aare,” is a German-language site providing the swimmers of Bern with a quick reference to all manner of weather data in and around the river. The eye-catching header text is in FF Prater Script, with explanatory copy in Le Havre and the data values themselves in League Gothic.
It just doesn’t feel like summer without a taste of ice cream, and Steve’s Ice Cream offers 40 years of experience with this time-honored tradition. The shop’s lovely website profiles their amazing flavor options and shares the company’s history—and also makes excellent use of Alternate Gothic No. 1 D, 2D, and 3D in their header copy, with FF Meta Serif as a friendly counterpart in body sections.
Safari Surf School offers visitors to Costa Rica an adventure out on the waves through their surf vacation packages. Their website makes a powerful visual argument with great photography, and text in Source Sans keeps the copy feeling organized and effortless to read—giving you more time to consider that enticing beach vista.
