Where do we even begin with this one?

‍

This week's standout discovery is a portfolio site that redefines what it means to create an engaging digital experience. It’s a reminder that innovation often thrives in the most unexpected places.

‍

What immediately captured our attention was the site’s bold, monochromatic palette—elevated by deliberate pops of red. This limited color scheme is a masterclass in how restraint can amplify impact when executed with precision.

‍

The navigation flows seamlessly, offering a sense of exploration while allowing the content to breathe. Every element feels purposeful, creating a balance between simplicity and curiosity.

‍

What truly sets this site apart is its approach to interactivity. Subtle animations and scroll effects don’t overpower but instead enhance the user experience, making each interaction feel intentional and rewarding.

‍

This is digital craftsmanship at its finest—a site that invites you to linger, discover, and be inspired.

Font Feature: Degheest Family

‍

Crafted by the talented designers at the typeface design workshop at EESAB-Rennes, this project goes beyond simply preserving Degheest's legacy—it masterfully reimagines it for modern-day applications. It's a shining example of how historical type design can be revived with respect and transformed to meet the needs of today's creatives.

‍

The History Degheest is more than a typeface; it's a tribute to the pioneering French type designer Ange Degheest (1928–2009). This revival project breathes new life into his work, which originally spanned an era of remarkable technological evolution—from nautical charts to the Minitel interfaces that defined France's early digital age.

‍

By bridging the gap between tradition and innovation, the Degheest family of typefaces celebrates a rich legacy while proving itself indispensable for contemporary design.
