OverviewThis project is a vintage-inspired keycap set developed in collaboration with Keykobo.
The design is rooted in classic terminals and early digital interface aesthetics.
Its color and graphic direction is visually influenced by the EP-40 RIDDIM sampler, particularly the use of green-on-neutral interface markings and controlled accent colors.
Rather than following a specific theme, the set is conceived as a system-oriented design, focused on structure, clarity, and long-term visual balance.
