Paper
#F5F3EC var(--color-paper)
Page background — the founder-paper canvas.
Every token, type ramp, and component below is rendered live from the
same theme tokens and component library that build the site — a working
mirror of research/brand.md. Modern, edgy, founder-native
neo-brutalist editorial: founder-paper canvas, near-black ink, electric
indigo, signal-yellow pops, thick 2px borders and hard offset shadows.
Each swatch renders its actual theme token (CSS var) — the label shows the exact hex it must equal. Paper dominates; indigo and yellow are accents, never areas.
Display is expanded Archivo (the wdth axis at 125) for headlines and numbers; body is Archivo for running copy; Space Mono carries every label.
A filled indigo dot with a 2px ink border — the signal made physical — beside the Done Viral wordmark in display Archivo.
Live instances of every signature primitive — bordered, slightly-raised physical objects on paper. Hover any to feel the lift.
Bordered paper-2 surface, 16px radius, hard offset shadow, hover lift. The 44px yellow icon tile is optional.
The Emil Kowalski philosophy: ~150–700ms, cubic-bezier(.16,1,.3,1), tiny translate + blur-up, staggered. Reduced motion shows the final state immediately.
