Unicorn Studio. A black velvet void pierced by prismatic violet light, with type that breathes quietly beside it.

Unicorn Studio lives in a near-black void where light itself becomes the product: the canvas is a matte charcoal, typography whispers in cool pearl grays, and the only chromatic voice is a violet WebGL aurora that bleeds through gradients, link borders, and hero atmospheres. Surfaces stack in barely-perceptible steps of darkness — #08080a → #0d0d12 → #17171c — so depth is communicated through value shifts rather than shadows, with a thin dark key-line (`#31313a`, -1px offset) doing the work of elevation on interactive elements. The display face is Overused Grotesk with aggressive negative tracking (up to -0.063em), pulling letters so close they almost touch, while body text stays in the system stack at a comfortable 16px with subtle -0.01em tightening. Interaction is restrained: light-filled cream buttons against the void, hairline violet underlines on links, and 3px micro-radii that keep the language architectural rather than friendly.
