Colophon screen
A colophon is a historical statement regarding the creation and technical specifications of a printed or digital medium. This page documents the tools, design choices, and infrastructure that bring this space to life.
Typography
Legibility and visual rhythm are paramount. The site relies on modern, screen-optimized typefaces:
- Inter: Designed by Rasmus Andersson, this is the primary sans-serif font used across the UI for its excellent geometric readability.
- Geist Mono: Created by Vercel, this is employed for code blocks and technical details, providing a clean, engineering-focused aesthetic.
Architecture & Stack
This site is built heavily around JAMstack principles, prioritizing speed, accessibility, and a clean file structure.
- Framework: Built primarily with Astro , utilizing its islands architecture to deliver fast, static HTML.
- Styling: Pure Vanilla CSS. All responsive design is handled via custom CSS variables without relying on heavy utility libraries.
- Infrastructure: Domain management, routing, and deployments are hosted securely on the edge via Cloudflare Workers/Pages.
Software & Hardware Environment
The source code is written, debugged, and compiled using the following daily setup:
- Editor: Developed by alternating between the raw speed of Vim within the Kitty terminal emulator, and the versatility of VS Code and Kate.
- Operating System: Orchestrated natively on Linux. Primarily running Debian 13 "Trixie" with KDE Plasma environment, and Debian 12 "Bookworm" for lightweight legacy development.
- Machines: Built across a desktop PC equipped with an Intel Celeron G1610 processor and 4GB of RAM, and a classic 32-bit IBM ThinkPad T42.
