How this
is set.
ARC is composed on a 12-column modular grid, flush-left and ragged-right, in a single grotesque. Whitespace is structural; hierarchy is carried by weight and rule, not colour — the archive is set in pure black and white.
Set in Inter, self-hosted. Built with Nuxt 4, Tailwind v4, and Nuxt Content on the Avemo framework. Colour is managed in OKLCH; the entire palette derives from a few brand seeds — here, tuned to a single neutral ramp.
