As a kiwi reading this, at the start I thought it was about a new hybrid mānuka tree developed off German root stock ...nope it was just tree metaphors about a new font.

The site is about fonts and text, not trees and roots.

Does anyone know how wood was able to be carved with sufficient precision to enable it to be used as a medium for type? At such small scales, surely it splintered and fractured all the time?

There's an image[1] of text with bush in the background that appears to have no manuka whatsoever in it. You don't have to travel far in NZ to find thousands and thousands of manuka trees. I'm not convinced the author even knows what manuka is.<p>[1] <a href="https://klim.imgix.net/original_images/Manuka-Campaign-Slab-Landscape-03.jpg?w=2000&fit=max&ixlib=react-9.0.2" rel="nofollow">https://klim.imgix.net/original_images/Manuka-Campaign-Slab-...</a>
