Pull-quote callout

Inline code

No box. A coloured underline tint that stays out of the way.

:not(pre) > code {
  font-family: var(--nibiru-font-mono);
  font-size: 0.86em;
  background: linear-gradient(to top,
    rgba(124, 112, 171, 0.16) 35%,

  padding: 0 0.18em;

}

Hero with the lotus

Asymmetric two-column grid. Big editorial number behind the copy. The brand mark anchors the right side and breathes once every 18 seconds.
