What it is

Type-led, image-heavy, and deliberately quiet. Astro output, so a full case study ships about 40KB of JavaScript.

Portfolio themes usually compete with the work in them. This one is built to lose that fight: heavy type, generous white space, and no animation that is not carrying information.

It is an Astro site, so most pages ship no JavaScript at all. The case study layout is the same shape we use on our own client work — brief, approach, outcome, results, gallery — because it is the order clients read in.

Content is Markdown files or any headless CMS you point it at.

What makes it worth the money

  • 40KB per page Astro islands only where something actually moves.
  • Type does the work A real modular scale, not fourteen arbitrary font sizes.
  • Perfect on paper too Print stylesheet included, because portfolios still get printed.
