How This Site Is Made
Colophon
This site is a long‑term archive built to outlast trends. It is a static site with minimal dependencies, designed for clarity, speed, and future portability.
Principles
- Minimal, typography‑first presentation
- No JavaScript
- Content as durable text and images
- Fluid type and spacing scales (Utopia)
- Works remain the primary subject
Stack
- Generator: Zola
- Typography: Literata (body + headings), IBM Plex Sans (UI + captions), Inconsolata (code)
- Layout: CSS custom properties with fluid scales
- Images: Original assets preserved; resized variants generated at build time
Style Guide
Headings
H1 — The archive begins here
H2 — The work in context
H3 — A quiet subheading
Paragraph
The archive favors quiet, declarative prose. It privileges clarity and the subtle rhythm of long‑form text over ornament. The goal is to read without friction.
Links
A link should be visible without being loud. This is a link example.
Lists
- This is a list item
- Another list item
- A third list item

- Another item
- A final item
Blockquote
The archive exists to hold the work in a steady light.
Code
