Lithomemphis — Specimen Runtime

A tactile, print-born design specimen: neobrutalist paper cards, brass clips and lithographic collage, rendered as a static two-route web runtime.

Live: https://lithomemphis.vercel.app

Specimen / demo only. There are no accounts, votes, challenges, leaderboards or live community metrics. Studio names and artifacts are fictional sample content (src/data/artifacts.json). Metric tiles show "—".

Routes

• / — Collective home specimen: static hero prompt card ("Print the Future"), sample featured studios (no scores), metric placeholders, archive strip.
• /gallery — Gallery with taxonomy sidebar, tab filters, search, and grid/list toggle over static JSON.

Type substitution

Comps use Canela Deck (display) and Noe Display (serif). Free substitutes via Google Fonts:

• Canela → Fraunces (900, opsz) for display headlines
• Noe → Instrument Serif for editorial serif titles
• UI/mono → Space Mono; body → Inter

Art direction

All imagery is original inline SVG/CSS: marble = layered gradients, halftone = radial-dot patterns, botanicals = generated SVG petal geometry, brass clips = clipped gradient corners. No stock or comp assets are reused.

Stack
