Studio Lathe is a minimalist design and development agency portfolio presented as a curated directory. The design is defined by extreme restraint, featuring a warm neutral background (#F6F4F2) and pure black text (#000000). Typography is light-weight system sans-serif, creating a refined, airy aesthetic. The layout is strictly grid-based with a simple list of projects and outlined uppercase tags. Critical design rules: maintain extreme minimalism, avoid any visual decoration, keep typography light, and preserve the rigid, rational structure of the directory layout.
