Vera
Vera is Miswylltia's intriguing and thoughtful channel, curated as a captivating presence focused on curiosity, compelling stories, cinema, and late-night discoveries.
Named after a classic first name to evoke the feel of a sharp-witted archivist or a nocturnal
friend,
she broadcasts daily on a digital signal from 7.00 to 3.00, delivering a mix of documentaries, drama,
cult animation, and classic cinema.
Unlike most television channels, Vera intentionally closes overnight. The daily closedown preserves
the feeling that television has a beginning and an end, while also avoiding unnecessary overnight repeats.
Branding & Presentation
She uses a deep purple and a dark teal as her colors, sharing her typography with Miswylltia. Unlike John, Vera's idents capture moments of forces of nature, trippy visuals, and how the world works, all paired with ambient sounds or a soundscape.
