## Overview
A spacious text-first writing index contrasting small uppercase category labels with larger stacked editorial links. Isolated component selected with `div.py-20`; the screenshot contains its measured bounds, not the entire page. Inspected 2026-10-05.

## Colors
White is the primary canvas, dark blue-black supports body text, and green-black lettering anchors the name. Bright cyan belongs to the flower artwork; project images introduce their own palettes. Tokens are sampled computed colors; descriptive accent colors are visual observations, not measured hex values.

## Typography
Measured heading/label sample: Inter, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji", 14px, weight 400, leading 20px. Supporting sample: Parclo, ui-serif, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif, 24px, leading 32px. These are local computed samples, not a universal type scale. Artwork and child spans may differ from their parent styles.

## Layout
Keep two consecutive groups, current thinking and previous writing, with generous separation. Links stay in a simple vertical flow on both inspected widths; do not convert them into thumbnail cards. Desktop screenshot: 1440 × 1496px at a 1440px viewport. Mobile evidence: 390 × 1688px at a 390px viewport. Breakpoint thresholds are not inferred from two observations.

## Elevation & Depth
The main composition is flat and airy. Project screenshots create visual texture rather than a uniform elevated card system.

## Shapes
Expressive heavy serif lettering contrasts with a scalloped circular badge and mostly rectangular project imagery. Do not replace the custom name treatment with a generic UI heading.

## Components
Small uppercase group labels and stacked text links. Maintain the hierarchy between quiet category labels and article titles; hover states were not independently verified.

## Do’s and Don’ts
Preserve the reference-specific hierarchy, wrapping and spacing described above. Use original copy and assets when adapting. Keep links keyboard-accessible with visible focus. Do not infer animations, hover states or hidden menus from this static capture. No full accessibility audit was performed.
