About this site

Principles

Sober, single-column, type-first. One accent color. No shadows, no tracker, no popups. The page should feel like a paperback printed on cream stock.

Stack

• Astro with content collections and MDX.
• Vanilla CSS with custom properties — no utility framework.
• Expressive Code for syntax highlighting.
• Hosted on Forclus, powered by AI.
• Source: written in Spanish and English; posts are tagged by language.

Typography

• Display — Instrument Serif, used for the wordmark and h1/h2.
• Body — Newsreader, set at 18 px / 1.7.
• Mono — JetBrains Mono, for code and meta.
