Lpalo. One slab-serif headline shouting through scattered crayon doodles.

La puce à l'oreille reads like a children's storybook spread across warm peach paper — a playful podcast platform where chunky black slab-serif headlines anchor the page while vivid color accents and floating line-art illustrations dance around them. The visual rhythm is generous and unhurried: a soft peach canvas (#f6e0db) holds scattered doodles, pill-shaped containers float with thick black borders, and a single oversized headline (Alfa Slab One at near-120px) does the heavy lifting for brand voice. Components feel handmade rather than engineered — black-outlined white cards, 47px pill radii, no shadows, no gradients. Color is treated as a palette of crayons pulled from a single box: every hue is saturated and flat, used as decorative punctuation on surfaces, icons, and section backgrounds rather than as functional UI states. The contrast between the type's serious slab-serif weight and the whimsical illustrations creates the site's identity tension — authoritative voice, childlike delivery.
