# Altason — Style Reference

Source measurements are normalized; roles and recommendations are interpreted. Font summary lists are independent, not paired by position. HTML examples are reconstructions, not source components.
Altason is a portfolio-as-canvas: a pure black-on-white editorial grid where massive, medium-weight Grotesk wordmarks are the hero and the work itself is the product. The system is 0% chromatic — every visual moment is built from ink, paper, and the negative space between them. Components are borderless except for hairline 1px black lines that quietly subdivide the page; there are no shadows, no gradients, no rounded corners, no accent hues. Type does all the work, and it speaks loudly by being huge and only weight 500 — the restraint of a medium weight at 288px is the signature move. Density is generous and architectural: sections breathe with 112–288px vertical padding, content sits in a three-column grid, and every surface is a flat plane with no elevation hierarchy. An AI agent should think of this as designing a printed magazine spread, not a SaaS dashboard.
