Two inks, one voice
SB—120 treats a developer portfolio like a risograph zine: limited inks, honest misprints, real paper. The constraint is the point. Software should be built the same way: on purpose, and nothing extra.
Two plates, one overlap. Code and design, human and AI, and the purple where they meet.
SB for Siddharth Bhat. 120 from the GitHub handle, and the issue number. The em dash is the gap between idea and shipped.
Condensed grotesque for headlines (wdth 75), an italic serif for the human aside, monospace for anything a machine would say.
- Overlap pink and blue with multiply, never fake the purple.
- Misregister 2–6px. Perfect alignment looks digital.
- Every illustration is drawn in code, in two inks.
- Motion is mechanical: stamps, rollers, slides, not floaty fades.
- No gradients, no glassmorphism, no stock 3D blobs.
- No more than two inks plus one spot per view.
“Passionate, highly motivated self-starter.”
“I build enterprise software with AI. Less cost. Less time.”
“Leveraged synergies across the stack.”
“47 endpoints. 69 tests. It ships.”
Short, specific, a little playful. Numbers over adjectives.
