Dithersmith

Concept

Dithersmith treats color like a limited palette that has to be beaten into shape. The canvas is a warm, near-black char surface; one ember orange carries every accent, and wherever that ember meets the dark it breaks into a coarse ordered-dither ramp instead of a smooth gradient, so the pixel grid stays visible at full size. Structure is square and hairline-thin, actions are fully round, and depth comes from surface value steps, corner brackets, and tight ember glow rather than blurred shadows. Chivo sets tight, heavy headlines against Chivo Mono for the few labels that carry real data, giving the system the feel of a builder's tool that was designed, not templated.
