Cori Corinne. Editorial gallery on warm paper.

Cori Corinne is a personal portfolio site that reads like an editorial print spread — a warm cream canvas, a single massive serif name as the cover line, and quiet sans-serif navigation that almost disappears. The entire system is restrained to one ink color and one paper color, letting photography and typography do all the expressive work. Every element earns its place: the wordmark is the hero, the page sections function as gallery plates, and the only UI chrome is a hairline-thin top bar. Components are essentially absent — this is a typography-and-photography system, not a component library. The visual identity comes from the tension between the whisper-light cream background (#f6f5f0) and the dense, high-contrast serif display, which creates a fashion-editorial or art-catalog feeling rather than a typical portfolio grid.
