A small, deliberate set of type, colour and voice. Editorial, restrained, the same in English and Norwegian.

- **Paper** — `#F5F2EA` · Background
- **Ink** — `#211E18` · Primary text
- **Stone** — `#56514A` · Secondary text
- **Sand** — `#A79F8C` · Labels and meta
- **Line** — `#E6E0D3` · Borders and dividers

## Type

- Newsreader (serif) — Display & body

## Voice

- First person. I, not we.
- Plainspoken. No hype, no filler verbs.
- Bilingual. Every page works in English and Norwegian.
- Restraint. White space over decoration.
