Studio Emmerer. Typeset on drafting paper.

Studio Emmerer presents itself as typed content first, photography second — a two-tone document where NHaasGrotesk weight 400 carries every word at 16px or 30px, with tight 0.90–1.16 line-heights and negative tracking at every size. The palette is strictly black, white, and a single mid-gray (#999999) reserved for table column headers; there are no fills, no shadows, no rounded corners, no decorative graphics of any kind. A flat project table dominates the page — 1px black row dividers, 12px vertical padding, edge to edge with no card containers wrapping the rows. The right-arrow glyph (→) is the only interactive ornament, prefixing inline underlined links for both site navigation and individual project entries. Everything else is whitespace and type: the layout reads like a printed catalogue spread, not a software interface.
