Ingamana
www.ingamana.coma development-studio portfolio that runs as a near-silent black-on-white index, ABC Monument Grotesk set tiny (10-16px), captioned project tiles laid out like a contact sheet, and a single expo-out reveal curve doing all the motion work.

Do / Don't
Reference it for
- The captioned project index: tile, left-aligned title, right-aligned ../YEAR slug, laid out like a contact sheet or file listing.
- Extreme typographic restraint: a single grotesque held at 10-16px so the work, not the chrome, dominates.
- Black-on-white with one neutral grey (#DFDFDF) placeholder field and nothing else.
- A single reusable reveal curve (expo-out cubic-bezier(0.19,1,0.22,1), 0.6-0.75s) carrying the whole site.
- A lean hand-built stack (Lenis plus DatoCMS) as a reference for framework-free, content-led portfolios.
Do not copy
- The ../YEAR repository caption motif is ingamana's voice; the technique ports, the exact treatment is theirs.
- ABC Monument Grotesk is licensed; map to a similar neo-grotesque rather than lifting it.
- Type this small needs real video work behind every tile to justify it; on a thin portfolio the restraint reads as empty, not confident.

tiny-type single-grotesque restraint
a single grotesque held at 10-16px lets the work dominate the chrome, with one reusable expo-out reveal curve doing all the motion.
