Basement Studio. Arcade glow in a concrete bunker.

  • Studio
  • Dark theme
  • 9 colors
  • 2 typefaces

Basement Studio is a dev-led creative studio site staged entirely on a Void Black #000000 canvas, opening on a full-screen WebGL render of the studio's own basement before handing over to type. Every word is Geist at a single 600 weight: 87px and 76px headlines at 0.89 line-height and -0.04em tracking stack like poster copy, while 20px body runs at a blunt 1.0 line-height. Colour is almost absent; Bone #e6e6e6 and Concrete Gray #c4c4c4 carry the text, 1px translucent rules draw logo grids and project rows, and Basement Orange #ff4d00 appears only as a pulsing online dot and the active HUMAN toggle. Nothing is rounded except that one pill, and nothing casts a shadow.
