On Legibility and Atmosphere

There is a tension in design between making something clear and making something felt. The best work lives in that tension — legible enough to communicate, atmospheric enough to linger.

Typography is not about fonts. It is about the space between the reader and the idea.

This is a note I keep returning to in my practice. The moment you over-clarify, you lose something. The moment you obscure too much, you lose the reader.
