PostNew. After-hours gallery with daylight spreads.

  • Design tools
  • Dark theme
  • 5 colors

PostNew operates as an after-hours gallery: a near-black canvas (#1a1a1a) acts as a quiet vitrine frame, while full-bleed editorial spreads detonate with color, photography, and bold display type when content opens. The system is ruthlessly achromatic on the structural layer — only five near-grayscale tokens carry the entire UI — and delegates all chromatic expression to the content itself. Typography is intentionally scarce: ABC Diatype Medium at two sizes for editorial moments, system sans at 12px for chrome. The feeling is curated rather than designed: a portfolio shell that disappears so the work can perform.

Neutrals5

  • Hairline borders, high-contrast text, deepest shadow line — used sparingly where maximum definition is needed against the canvas

  • Page background, gallery vitrine, frame around content — a near-black not-quite-pure-black that lets imagery breathe without the harshness of #000

  • Elevated cards, button backgrounds, secondary surface panels — one step lighter than canvas to create depth without contrast drama

  • Muted UI elements, inactive dots, decorative fills — the 6.3:1 ratio against white keeps it legible but clearly secondary

  • Primary text, nav labels, icon strokes, light surface fill — the only light token, reserved for foreground against Canvas Black
