A small record of how this site is made, what it is made with, and where the work comes from.

Typography
Space Grotesk sets the headlines and labels. Designed by Florian Karsten, used under the SIL Open Font License. Instrument Sans carries the body copy, and Instrument Serif provides the editorial accent. Both are by Instrument, also under the SIL Open Font License. Full notices are on the licences page.
All three are self-hosted in assets/fonts/, so there are no third-party font requests at runtime.
Build
Plain HTML5, CSS3 and vanilla JavaScript. No framework, no package manager, no build step. The only external script is GSAP 3 + ScrollTrigger, loaded from jsDelivr for the scroll reveals, parallax and magnetic buttons. If it fails to load, the site still works.
Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion. Forms compose a pre-filled email in your own mail app — no data is stored on this site. YouTube embeds are optional: they request YouTube only after you allow media, and use youtube-nocookie.com.
