Polecat

Reference it for

• The map-as-homepage idea: replacing a scroll with an explorable, zoomable illustrated world where districts are the navigation.
• A committed, characterful preloader as a deliberate first act (typed copy plus a counter), setting tone before the content arrives.
• Bouncy overshoot easings (cubic-bezier(0.26,1.27,0.95,1.08), cubic-bezier(0.745,0.755,0.405,1.545)) for playful, springy interactive feedback.
• A clean token system (22 CSS custom properties: --font-*, --space-*, a --mobile-breakpoint) under a wild visual surface, proof that a playful site can still be tidily engineered.
• A bold display grotesque (ABC Camera) set very large with tight negative tracking as the only typographic voice.

Do not copy

• The illustrated island and its districts are Polecat's entire identity and an enormous bespoke art effort; admire the concept, do not clone the world.
• The no-scroll, pan-and-zoom map is a high-risk interaction pattern (discoverability, accessibility, mobile, SEO); only attempt it where the brief genuinely wants a playground, not an information site.
• ABC Camera is a licensed Dinamo typeface; map to a similar quirky display grotesque.
