A printed love letter to Vilnius

A risograph-inspired visual language — warm amber ink kissing deep Baltic pine, laid on uncoated paper with honest grain and proud registration offsets. Built for a city that smells of amber and rye.

Overprint principle. Inks are designed to be layered, not blended. Amber over teal yields warm browns; coral over blue gives plum. Lean into visible halftone dots and let registration sit a hair off-true — the imperfection is the brand.

Vilnius wears its history lightly. Baroque spires lean over courtyard cafés while street art fights for the next blank wall. This typeface keeps the running text honest and legible at 17px / 1.6, with a sturdy lowercase that survives newsprint reproduction.

Fraunces for emotion and headlines, Archivo for clarity, Space Mono for metadata, coordinates and captions. Never more than three weights live on one screen.

Rhythm. Everything snaps to a 4px lattice; section padding holds at 64–96px. Borders are a constant 2.5px and shadows are hard-edged offsets of 4–7px — never soft. This keeps the layout feeling die-cut and printed rather than rendered.

Joninės — Midsummer Fires

Flower crowns, bonfires by the Neris, and the shortest night of the year sung in chorus.

Component law. Every surface earns a 2.5px soot keyline and a hard offset shadow. Hover lifts the card up-left and swaps the shadow to amber — the page should feel like sheets of paper you could pick up.
