A short note on the materials of this site. It is set in two typefaces, lives on four colors, and was built with care — the way I want to build most things.
- Typefaces
- Mona Sans for everything that carries meaning. JetBrains Mono for dates, tags, and small metadata.
- Palette
-
Paper Ink Muted MustardMustard is reserved for the reading-progress bar. Nothing else.
- Mark
- A kanji seal, designed as a small stamp. The mark in the margin is two nested squares, deliberately offset.
- Grid
- 680px reading column, 72px left gutter. Dates and anchors live in the gutter. The body column stays quiet.
- Built with
- Hand-written HTML, CSS, and a little JavaScript. No framework. No build step. Hosted on GitHub Pages.
- Philosophy
- Quiet, spacious, and built deeply. For the AI era, those feel like the things worth keeping.
- Thanks
- To everyone whose writing made me want to start one of these.
