$ cat about.md

bru — south african slang for mate. doubles as a play on brew, continuing the coffee theme across the two variants.

warm coffee-toned backgrounds (brown and sepia, not teal or grey). cream foreground that carries warmth through typography. selenized-bright accents that pop against warm bases without feeling neon. built for people who spend a lot of time in terminals and want something that feels warm without feeling muddy, and readable without feeling clinical. // kmf · pretoria · 2026
