Depot. Dark server-rack terminal.

  • Developer tools
  • Dark theme
  • 22 colors
  • 3 typefaces

Depot uses a developer-console language: a near-black canvas, hairline green-tinted borders, and a single vivid green accent that lights up the only button on the page. The interface feels like a terminal that grew up into a marketing site — compact, monospace-adjacent, and confident in its restraint. Typography splits into three Red Hat families: Display for tight tracked-out headlines, Text for slightly letter-spaced body copy, and Mono for code and terminal-style labels, creating a tri-tonal typographic system. Surfaces stack in barely-perceptible lifts of near-black, separated by thin 1px hairline borders with subtle green ambient glows — no drop shadows, just inset top highlights. Color appears sparingly: green for actions and status, blue for inline links, and a soft violet for secondary decorative accents. The whole system reads as 'infrastructure you can trust' rather than 'consumer app you enjoy'.
