16-bit retro × modern UI (50/50 balance)

This page is a controlled visual playground so we can test aesthetics before touching the rest of the site. It mixes retro cues (pixel frames, palette, scanline texture) with modern spacing and typography.

Theme Variants

Variant A — Deep Space

Most restrained option. Prioritizes readability with retro details in the frame and accent palette.

Variant B — Metroid Pulse

Higher-retro expression through warmer accent tones and stronger panel contrast, still modern in layout.

Variant C — CRT Night

Adds subtle scanline texture and cooler neon highlights. Strongest retro vibe while keeping professional hierarchy.

Component feel tests

Project Card Treatment

Pixel-corner frame + modern card spacing. Helps the retro look show up without turning into a novelty site.
