On typography
When everything else is monochrome, typography does the heavy lifting. The shape of a letter, the space between lines, the rhythm of a paragraph — these become the entire personality of the page.
The hierarchy of restraint
Three weights, two sizes, and a single mono face for eyebrows are usually enough. Anything more is noise.
A page that knows what it is will never need to shout.
A small rule
- Pick a single display face and commit.
- Let the second line of a title fade to
text-muted-foreground. - Use monospace only for dates, eyebrows, and code.
const heading = "Quiet writing, pulled from a folder tree.";
A page that earns its whitespace will never feel empty.
