About Tide Table Almanac
The Tide Table Almanac borrows its identity from the deep sea-green ink and aged-paper columns of early-20th-century navigational ephemerides. It is a quiet, data-rich book made for harbours and high water — port names, high- and low-water figures, and small moon-phase glyphs stacked in ruled serif columns.
Set against a deep teal ground rather than paper white, it treats data as the page's main ornament. Hairline rules, columnar discipline, and warm parchment accents give numerical density a calm, authoritative voice drawn from the Admiralty publishing lineage.
