Kobu. Monochrome travel gazette on warm parchment.

Kobu operates as an editorial travel portfolio: a warm cream canvas, almost zero chromatic noise, and photography as the only color. The massive display wordmark KOBU stretches nearly edge-to-edge — the brand name itself is the visual statement, not a logo mark. Everything else recedes: a humanist Gill Sans sets a literary, guidebook tone while Fira Mono handles small uppercase labels that read as printed museum tags. Cards live on the page edge with hairline borders, no shadows, no fills, and 5px-rounded badges floating in the top-left corner of each photograph. The system is deliberately austere — no CTAs, no accent colors, no gradients — so that the architecture and landscapes in the photography become the only expressive element on screen.
