Set in Inter and Inter Variable, designed by Rasmus Andersson, love his work.
I set the font intentionally small. There's something about small type that opens up space for the content itself.
Dieter Rams once said, "Having small touches of color makes it more colorful than having the whole thing in color."
I feel the same about typography: when the scale drops, your attention shifts, you start to read with more presence.
When the iPhone was released, the background was black. Since then, I've kept my backgrounds black as well, as it lets the interface speak more.
I enjoy using touches of color, but for a layout-focused design such as this page, which centers more on typography and assets, I prefer using as little to no color as possible. A good gallery or museum, in my opinion, tries to do as little design of their own as possible, just subtle layout plays, without standing in the way of the content or art. This is the approach I follow here as well.
This site draws inspiration from old prints and functional layouts, the kind of design that ages well. I keep a small library of books I often return to. Some of these references can be found on my Are.na page.
Built with Next.js and hosted on Vercel. The site uses Tailwind for styling and TypeScript throughout.
I've been lucky to learn from and be surrounded by people who've shaped how I think about design, through their craft, perspective, and taste.
