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 layer, they don't blend. 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. Roles, not favourites: amber leads, teal supports, coral signals, the rest stay rare.

Vilnius wears its history lightly. Baroque spires lean over courtyard cafés while street art fights for the next blank wall. This typeface keeps 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 nonlinear 4px scale; section padding holds at 96px. The signature keyline is a constant 2.5px and elevation is a 3-step hard-offset shadow scale (3 / 5 / 7px) — never soft. Groups get more space between them than within them. This keeps the layout feeling die-cut and printed rather than rendered.

Component law. Every surface earns a 2.5px soot keyline and a hard offset shadow from the elevation scale. Hover lifts the card up-left and swaps the shadow to amber — the page should feel like sheets of paper you could pick up. Status reads from a badge and a label, never colour alone.
