What

A square (1080×1080, exported at 2160 for crisp upload) Instagram post for showcasing design work, built in the kernel.chat editorial design language (docs/design-language.md) so it reads as a portfolio piece about the system rather than generic marketing.

post

Design decisions (all from the design language)

  • Stock: warm cream #F3E9D2 ground with a printed-page keyline
  • Type: EB Garamond display monument + Courier Prime mono meta — the real brand fonts (fetched via Fontsource on npm, converted woff2 → ttf for fontconfig)
  • Spot color: tomato #E24E1B only — kicker, short rule, italic emphasis word, issue monument
  • System mark: the asterisk as the single recurring folio glyph, drawn as a 6-spoke stroke to match PopIcon
  • Bilingual: bracketed kicker [ DESIGN · 設計 ] and a JP subtitle (WenQuanYi covers the kana/kanji)
  • Monument: bottom-right ISSUE 375 · THE SIX BORROWS
  • Headline reuses the run's own principle — "every release is an issue" — paired with the deck on evidence-cited design

A 1080x1080 (exported 2160) square Instagram post for showcasing
design work, built in the kernel.chat design language per
docs/design-language.md:

- Warm cream stock (#F3E9D2) ground with a printed-page keyline
- EB Garamond display monument + Courier Prime mono meta (real
  brand fonts, fetched via Fontsource and converted woff2 -> ttf)
- Tomato (#E24E1B) as the single spot color: kicker, rule, italic
  emphasis word, issue monument
- The asterisk as the single recurring system mark, leading the
  cover folio (drawn as a 6-spoke stroke, matching PopIcon)
- Bracketed bilingual kicker [ DESIGN . 設計 ] and JP subtitle
  (WenQuanYi covers the kana/kanji)
- Bottom-right issue monument: ISSUE 375 . THE SIX BORROWS

Headline reuses the run's own principle ("every release is an
issue") so the post reads as a portfolio piece about the system,
not generic marketing. build_post.py force-added past the *.py
gitignore so the asset stays reproducible.
