Colophon
Built for clarity, not decoration.
The design system and engineering decisions behind this research platform.
This site is designed as a focused research platform: a clear account of current questions, completed work, publications, and academic experience. Its identity comes from information hierarchy, precise interaction, and useful technical detail rather than visual spectacle.
Typography
- Primary
- A modern system sans-serif stack keeps headings direct, compact, and legible without turning scale into the only source of hierarchy.
- Interface
- The same sans system gives navigation, summaries, and controls a consistent voice in both Turkish and English.
- Metadata
- A compact monospaced family distinguishes dates, states, coordinates, and technical labels from the reading layer.
Palette
- Background
- #F1F2F4 establishes a porcelain-gray ground; the dark theme translates it into layered ink-black surfaces.
- Text
- #181A21 anchors the reading layer while silver-gray secondary tones organize supporting information.
- Accent
- #263A5F is a restrained Oxford navy reserved for actions, focus, and active technical states.
- Surfaces
- Paper and silver surfaces use neutral borders to separate content without green, cream, or heavy shadows.
Engineering
Built with Next.js 16 and React 19. Content routes are server-rendered and semantic; client-side code is isolated to navigation, theme, language, forms, and the interactive path-planning lab. The result remains fast, keyboard accessible, and maintainable.
System
Shared tokens govern spacing, type, color, surfaces, and motion. Modules adapt their information density across screen sizes, reduced-motion preferences are respected, and print styles keep the web CV usable on paper.
