How we think

Each engagement starts with a two-week audit: interviews with customers, sales and the people who build the product. The brief writes itself after that.

We hand over everything — source files, a living brand system and a website your team can edit without calling us.

Slopless Design · reference render

Everything above this panel is the design

Use it as a visual guide while building: design/DESIGN.md and design/tokens.json are the source of truth. Every section root carries data-pattern with its pattern id.

Viewport

Without ?viewport= the render follows the window width once scripts run. Screenshot at 1440 px with ?viewport=desktop and at 375 px with ?viewport=phone.

Sections on the about page (/about), top to bottom

Each link shows that pattern alone with these tokens, beside its rule, grid areas, slots, notes and layout tree.

nav.bookish-running-head Running head · nav, on every pageThe site name centred in small caps like a book's running head, plain links centred under it, a double rule beneath.
content.bookish-marginalia Text with marginalia · contentRunning text on the 3–9 measure (centred small-caps label, h2, a lead with a three-line drop cap, body), and in the outer margin 10–12 an italic note above a small bordered plate with its italic caption.
team.bookish-dramatis-personae Dramatis personae · teamA cast list: centred italic title, then four to ten people, each name in small caps right-aligned in 3–6 facing an italic role in 7–10. No portraits.
logos.bookish-subscribers List of subscribers · logosA centred small-caps label, then six to twelve names set in italic in three centred columns across 3–10, as in a book's list of subscribers.
footer.bookish-colophon Colophon · footer, on every pageA centred colophon: fleuron, an italic paragraph naming the typefaces and the press, plain links, and the legal line in small caps.
