For some reason I thought this was going to find typefaces, and I entered Goudy. To be fair, the first result was a picture of the eponymous Frederic W. Goudy.

The about page is way too calculated. And it doesn't even explain the stupid name.

Despite its complete impracticality, there's something charming about the scrollwheel.
