Vilnius was always a city of words smuggled in coat linings — printed at midnight, passed hand to hand, loved out loud despite everything. LoveVilnius borrows that ink-stained spirit: baroque alleys set in slab serif, courtyards stamped with registration marks, a whole metropolis run off the same beautiful, stubborn press.
Three roles, named by purpose: warm neutrals carry the page, oxblood is the primary identity ink, and amber & teal are supporting heat and cold. Every text pairing below clears WCAG AA contrast.
A finite scale — display, heading, section, body, caption, label — so nothing is sized by guesswork. Body stays under 62 characters per line for comfortable reading.
A nonlinear scale built on an 8px baseline. Larger steps grow faster, so grouping reads clearly: inside a component stays tight, between components opens up.
One primary action per group — the oxblood press button. Everything else steps down to amber, teal, or a quiet ghost outline, so the eye always knows where to go.
Bohemian quarter with its own constitution, river angel, and a stubborn streak of joy.
Twelve counters where steam fogs the window and the cinnamon buns sell out by ten.
Climb above the baroque skyline as the Neris turns the colour of weak tea.
Built on warm newsprint, two ink passes, and a stubborn belief that a guidebook can also be a love letter.
