I was scrolling down expecting to be surprised by a sudden outburst of color, but instead I was pleased that the structure just remained consistent and readable, and monochrome was a deliberate and pleasing aesthetic. Well done!

#62This is a great example of how a font can really compliment the style you're going for. It fits so well that you hardly notice it at all.
The font doesn't seem that great to me. Not sure exactly why but while it's not quite difficult for me to read, it's not as easy as other common fonts.

#64There’s a little typo in the simple example: Note closing header not main.
Another thing, semantically - the HEADER and FOOTER should go before & after, respectively, the MAIN tag
> Permitted parents: Any element that accepts flow content. Note that a element must not be a descendant of an , or another element
I think you can use a header more or less anywhere, and it is a header for content contained by its parent.

#65No. Please don't put script fonts in uppercase. It's absolute death to readability. Actually don't put anything in uppercase - like underlining, it's a form of emphasis that has its origins in typewriters, which were locked to one typeface. The uppercase letterforms are too similar -- there is no variation in the heights of the letters, so your eye finds it harder to read. Upper and lower case, you have letters like…
Hmm, yes, this does break a rule of legibility. It's harder to read than it could be. However, in doing so, it also creates a distinctive style. I think I like it.

#66I wish there were more of the minimalist CSS frameworks with opinionated styling. Easy to find very nice generic ones, but harder if you want one with some flavor.

I was curious so I checked. According to MDN: > Permitted parents: Any element that accepts flow content. Note that a element must not be a descendant of an , or another element I think you can use a header more or less anywhere, and it is a header for content contained by its parent.

#68I love the idea of (mostly) classless css frameworks. I tried to make one a while ago but it's probably not as good: https://elementcss.neocities.org

#70For the hell of it, I looked at the Chinese translation offered in the nav. I can’t read Chinese, so I wonder what someone who can read it thinks, but it looks very cluttered to me. (I know font options are very limited compared to English.) Interestingly, it also uses different photos.
