Emporio Youth Summit

Live

Editorial landing site for a youth summit, built around a classical Greco-Roman visual language — parchment and ink, engraved rules, sharp corners, and typography doing the work instead of decoration.

About this project

A conference site built to look like a printed invitation rather than a startup landing page: a parchment-and-ink palette, engraved hairlines, sharp corners, and a display serif carrying the whole page. It is a static export with no backend, so it costs nothing to host and loads instantly. Two details made it feel right. The cursor ring runs on a spring tuned to settle in about 130 milliseconds instead of the sluggish default. And the link-in-bio page is deliberately its own minimal route, because it opens inside Instagram's in-app browser on a phone, where anything heavier falls apart. Most of the work was refusing the generic options: the visual language had to stay coherent on a page built from a brochure that specified neither a date nor a venue.
