David Alaba is a strictly two-colour athlete site: Paper #ffffff canvas, Pitch Black #0a0a0c type, hairline rules and a black footer, with every other colour arriving through photography and video. The opening headline is a 220px stencil that lets match footage play through its letterforms, then the page scrolls into full-bleed film, a scattered 187.5px uppercase manifesto interleaved with square-cut photos, and a sparse thumbnail gallery. TWK Lausanne is the only typeface, served from its Light 300 file at a single CSS weight of 400 and tracked tight (-6.6px at 220px), so even the largest statements feel airy rather than loud. There are no radii, no shadows and no fills beyond black and white.
