Linus Rogge. Each project a wall-sized photograph with whisper-quiet captions in the corner.

  • Studio
  • Light theme
  • 9 colors
  • 1 typeface

Linus Rogge is a personal portfolio built on radical typographic restraint: a single 14px type size across all text, only two colors (pure black and pure white), and gallery-scale photography as the only visual voice. Hierarchy is created through weight (400 vs 500) and generous negative space, not through size escalation. Each project is presented as a sparse left-aligned label paired with a full-bleed photograph, reading like museum wall text beside a large print. Components are nearly invisible — no shadows, no rounded corners on the canvas, no decorative color — letting the work itself carry the page.

Neutrals9

  • Dark supporting neutral for text, icons, and strong contrast. Do not promote it to the primary CTA color

  • Dark section background for content blocks (writing index, project list) — near-black avoids the harshness of pure #000

  • Secondary dark surface for stacked dark sections

  • Strongest muted text before full black, subtle emphasis

  • Secondary muted text, labels, non-active annotations

  • Muted helper text, metadata dates, tertiary annotations on white

  • Tertiary surface, alternating section rhythm dividers

  • Secondary surface for section bands, footer background washes

  • Primary canvas, all text on dark surfaces, inverted button text
