Nerdy bits about this site

Color

The palette was inspired by this rad Widow's Bay illustration from Travis Knight. I fell in love with the crimson and eggplant pairing, so I built everything around it. Both colors hold up in light and dark mode, contrast well against each other, and are distinct enough that the system feels intentional without being loud.

• Crimson Primary / action
• Eggplant Text & deep surfaces
• Blush Light backgrounds
• Dusk Dark-mode surfaces

Type

Greycliff CF is a gorgeous geometric sans by Connery Fagan, self-hosted at three weights on a Major Third (1.25×) scale. I'd been looking for a project to use it in for years and this personal site felt like the right fit.
