Do / Don't

Reference it for

  • Pure black rgb(0, 0, 0) page — no near-black softening, no second surface layer (Koto does #141414 / #202020; Jens just commits to true black)
  • White-only chromatic system — rgb(255, 255, 255) text + 90% / 40% alpha tiers for hierarchy (no muted grey)
  • HelveticaNow Display Bold / Medium / Regular triple — only 3 cuts, no monospace, no condensed
  • Monumental display scale — 132 / 169 / 173 / 197 / 295 / 395px tiers on a single page
  • Negative letter-spacing on giant display — -7.89696px (-2%) and -10.1871px (-3.4%) on the largest cuts
  • Pill-button system — border-radius: 68.4714px chips of 178 × 63px with 2px solid borders, alternating fill / outline
  • Small "J" identity badge that prefixes section eyebrows — solo-practitioner branding device
  • Two-line ALL CAPS brand statement at ~169px, breaking on commas — "ONE-MAN ARMY, COMBINING VIDEO, EDITING..."

Do not copy

  • The "JENS BOSMAN" / "Jens is a one-man army" copy verbatim
  • The "PERFECT LITTLE WORLDS, FASHIONABLE, DYNAMIC, AND FULL OF LIFE" tagline
  • The HelveticaNow Display font files (Monotype-licensed)
  • The "W." sigil — that's the studio mark for Jens's collaborator/agent
  • The "Honors" vertical label as-is — that's specific to this portfolio's awards section naming
  • The client logos (Mizuno, Cluse, Harpers Bazaar, Footlocker, Filling Pieces, Nubikk, Agnona)
  • The "FRAME BY FRAME" section title and photo collage layout exactly
  • The "made by TwelveTwenty" footer credit

Signature moves

true-black white-only monumental canvas

pure black rgb(0,0,0) with white-only text at 90%/40% alpha tiers (no muted grey) and a monumental display scale (132-395px) with negative letter-spacing (-2% to -3.4%) on the giant cuts.

pill-chip nav and identity-badge eyebrows

a pill-button system (border-radius ~68px chips of 178x63px, 2px solid borders, alternating fill/outline) plus a small "J" identity badge prefixing section eyebrows and a fixed-right vertical label as minimal global chrome.

filled-and-outlined display ghost-echo

a display marquee repeats a word with the second glyph hollow (filled-and-outlined ghost-echo, e.g. "WORK WORK WORK") and low-contrast brand-list marquees, driven by signature curves cubic-bezier(0.99,0,0.9,0.42) at 0.4s and cubic-bezier(0.55,0.085,0,0.99) at 1.2s with sparing Splitting.js per-letter reveals.
