About This Site

Deteritus is built with Hugo, a fast and flexible static site generator. The site uses a custom theme designed with a focus on typography and readability.

Typography

The primary typeface is Iowan Old Style, a modern serif designed by John Downer. It draws inspiration from classic old-style typefaces while remaining highly legible on screens. Code is set in SF Mono.

Design Principles

  • Minimalism: Focus on content, not decoration
  • Readability: Generous line height, comfortable measure
  • Performance: No JavaScript frameworks, minimal dependencies
  • Accessibility: Semantic HTML, sufficient color contrast, respects system preferences

Features

  • Dark mode support (follows system preference)
  • Full-text search powered by Pagefind
  • RSS feed for easy subscription
  • Multiple post types: articles, quotes, links, photos, and reviews

Hosting

The site is hosted on [your hosting provider]. The source code is managed with Git.
