About This Site

This site is built with a retro terminal aesthetic — think monochrome CRTs, phosphor glow, and the quiet hum of a mainframe. The visual language is intentionally constrained: one typeface, three color themes, and no syntax highlighting. Every design decision reinforces the feeling that you're reading from a terminal.

The Berkeley Mono typeface by U.S. Graphics Company anchors the entire visual identity. All text — from navigation to article content — is rendered in this single family at varying weights. No sans-serif fallbacks, no display fonts.

Three monochrome color schemes, each evoking a different era of terminal hardware:

• Cyan (default) — Cool phosphor, inspired by IBM 3270 terminals
• Amber — Warm phosphor, reminiscent of DEC VT220 screens
• White — Paper white, a nod to modern e-ink displays

Each theme supports both dark and light mode. The entire color system is driven by CSS custom properties, so every element responds to theme changes without reloading.
