Summary

  • Full visual redesign: Syne (extrabold) headers + Geist Mono body, black on white, no cards/shadows/gradients
  • Oval "CI" logo mark in nav with hover invert
  • Drop caps, smallcap labels, typographic post lists
  • New blog post: "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Taste" (written by Claude)
  • Removed 3 placeholder posts, rewrote tagline and about page
  • Fixed duplicate H1 rendering in blog posts

Test plan

  • Verify all pages render correctly (/, /blog, /blog/[slug], /about, /projects, /tags/[tag])
  • Check mobile responsiveness and hamburger menu
  • Confirm fonts load (Syne for headers, Geist Mono for body)
  • Verify drop cap renders on blog post first paragraph
  • Test CI logo hover invert effect
  • Run npm run build to confirm clean static export

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Strip the site down to typography and whitespace. Syne (extrabold) for
headers, Geist Mono for body. No cards, shadows, gradients, or colored
accents — just black on white with grays for hierarchy.

- Oval CI logo mark in nav with hover invert
- Monospace body text, uppercase smallcap labels
- Drop caps on blog post first paragraphs
- Typographic post lists instead of card grids
- Strip duplicate H1 from rendered markdown
- New blog post: "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Taste"
- Remove 3 placeholder posts
- Rewrite tagline and about page copy
