//INTRO:Design System 2026.1
Orbital Industrialism
The 2026 iteration of villetakanen.com—a shift from
digital portfolio to high-altitude control surface. This aesthetic is a
deliberate fusion of brutalist functionalism and aerospace elegance,
designed to reflect a professional duality: the structured, architectural
mindset of a Technologist and the narrative-driven soul of
a Creator. It rejects the soft comforts of modern web
trends and the false nostalgia of retrofuturism, opting instead for a
"next-gen" utility that feels like a heavy-duty tool capable of operating
in zero gravity.
Anchored by the Archivo typeface, the system relies on a clinical black-on-white grid that treats content
as critical data packets. In this vacuum of stark utility, the signature
magenta-to-emerald gradient serves as the "Anomaly"—a dynamic, living
reactor core representing the human element breaking through the machine
logic. For the AI or designer executing this vision: prioritize contrast,
enforce rigid modularity, and treat whitespace as pressurized atmosphere.
This is not just a facelift; it is a refit for a new operational era.
//CHAPTER: Archivo+Chivo Mono@1.618
Typography
We combine the engineered grotesk of Archivo with the seamless mechanical logic of Chivo Mono. This pairing of Omnibus-Type aesthetics creates a "factory-spec"
consistency.
- Primary (Voice): Archivo (Variable)
- Usage: Headlines, body copy, major labels
- Secondary (Data): Chivo Mono (Google Font)
-
Usage: Captions, timestamps, code snippets, numbering, technical specs.
Vibe: The raw output of the machine.
The typography system uses a modular scale based on an 8px grid unit and
the Golden Ratio (1.618). Sizes and line-heights are calculated as
multiples of this base unit to maintain vertical rhythm.
The Specimen
Usage: Hero headlines, large displaytext
Usage: Page titles, main headlines, a11y landmark
Usage: Section titles, major headings
Usage: Subsection titles, card headers

Body text. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

//CHAPTER: Layout helpers.1
.Breakout
The .breakout utility class allows content to extend beyond the
standard layout constraints, creating a full-bleed effect. This is useful for
sections that require more visual emphasis or need to span the entire viewport
width.
