Colophon

Stack

  • Framework: Next.js (App Router)
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS
  • Components: shadcn/ui (Radix primitives)
  • Content: MDX files, version-controlled
  • Hosting: Vercel
  • Animation: Framer Motion (minimal)

Typography

System fonts throughout. No web fonts loaded. The sans stack is system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont. Mono is ui-monospace, SF Mono, Cascadia Code.

Base size is 14px. Page titles are 18px. Everything else is 14px or 11px for metadata. This is intentionally dense.

Design

Pure monochrome — Tailwind Neutral gray scale, zero undertone. No accent color. Links are distinguished by weight (500), not color. Dark mode follows system preference with no manual toggle.

Principles

  • Content is the design
  • Defaults are a feature
  • Honest over polished
  • Functional minimalism
