Borozdov Whisper

Borozdov Whisper

A theme from the Borozdov collection. Two faces — light Softbound, a warm cream editorial spread, and dark Boldface, the same spread by lamplight. Hairline-thin headlines carry the whisper, a bold serif carries the accent, and one electric violet spark is the only saturated colour in the system.

Principles

• A whispered voice. Ysabeau Hairline for the title and every heading, at weight 100 with tight negative tracking, so a headline reads as one pale shape; it is never bolded up. The platform's own sans for the text.
• One bold answer. Blockquotes and callout titles switch to a bold serif, a size up — the loudest thing on the page, set deliberately against the whisper of the headlines.
• One electric spark. Violet appears only in small, functional doses: links, the caret, tag outlines and the plain note callout. It never fills a button.
• Paper, not shadow. Cards sit one tone above the canvas with sharp 4px corners; nothing casts a shadow. The main button is solid black (or, at night, solid cream) — never the violet — plain buttons are 4px-cornered outlines.

Features

• Light and dark modes, following Settings → Appearance → Base color scheme
• Callouts as flat cards with sharp 4px corners; the plain note tinted violet
• Blockquotes in a bold serif, a size up, behind a violet rule
• Tables as bordered cards with sharp 4px corners and a stone-toned header
• Tags as thin violet outlines, never filled
• Quiet editing: no focus ring around the note, its title or form fields while you type; property names read as labels, not boxed fields
• Text colours meet WCAG contrast on both faces
• The phone layout keeps the same colours and shapes
• No !important: every rule can be overridden with a CSS snippet

По-русски. Тема из коллекции Borozdov. Два лика: светлый «Softbound» — тёплый редакционный разворот на кремовой бумаге, и тёмный «Boldface» — тот же разворот при свете лампы. Волосяные заголовки (Ysabeau Hairline) несут шёпот, жирная антиква — ответный акцент, и один электрический фиолетовый — единственный насыщенный цвет в системе.
