Thomas Vimare. A designer's darkroom where white type and saturated photography are the only light.

  • Design tools
  • Dark theme
  • 3 colors
  • 1 typeface

thms.works is a monochrome dark-mode portfolio built on absolute restraint. The entire interface is three colors: a near-black canvas, white type, and one muted gray for secondary information. A single custom typeface — HelveticaNowDisplay-Light — carries every word on the site, with tight negative tracking that tightens further at display sizes. The layout is spacious and editorial: large left-aligned headlines, generous 120px section gaps, and a two-column project grid where full-bleed photography is the only chromatic content. There are no buttons, no shadows, no accent colors, no border radii — just type, image, and negative space doing all the work.
