Public vault · every note in the open
Steal this vault
3 references, 6 human-written steal-notes. Every entry answers: where is it from, what family is it, and what would you steal?
Enormous negative space, one focal point, slow confident type. The page breathes; nothing competes. Feels like a film title sequence, not a website.

Steal · motion/interaction
Camera dolly through 3D ice responds to scroll velocity, not position — fast scrolls feel like skidding. Inertia as a material property.
Steal · color
Entire palette is one hue family (glacial teal) plus near-black; the single mint accent reads as luminous because nothing else is saturated.

Steal · grid/layout
Product floats in a sea of black with 60%+ vertical whitespace; specs appear one per viewport. Scarcity of information per screen = perceived value.
Steal · typography
Type never exceeds 24px outside the hero — authority through smallness against vast space.

Steal · typography
Sans for UI, Times for the manifesto line — the serif interruption marks 'this part is belief, not feature'.
Steal · copywriting
'A discovery engine for creatives' — category invention instead of comparison. No feature list above the fold.
Fonts: ABC Diatype, Times New Roman
Provenance & takedown
Every reference here links out to its original, and all referenced work belongs to its creators. What this vault adds — and what it is for — is the human-written commentary: the steal-notes are the content, not the pixels. Study use only.
Made something shown here and want it removed? Email util.wills@gmail.com with the entry title or a link to this page — it comes down promptly, no questions asked.
