Design Details

The design emphasizes minimalism, typography, and subtle interactions. The color palette uses muted neutral tones with careful attention to contrast and readability.

Interactive elements feature subtle cross markers and underlines, providing feedback without overwhelming the clean aesthetic. The site aims to be both accessible and visually interesting.

Fonts used are Geist Mono by Vercel, selected for its clean, modern appearance and excellent readability at small sizes.

All UI components are custom-built with a focus on simplicity and performance, without relying on component libraries.
