Kevin Tran is a demonstration page that replicates the familiar layout and typography of a popular online encyclopedia. It features a left navigation sidebar, a content area with infobox and section-based navigation, and reference-style footnotes [1].
Early life and education
The look emphasizes readability with a modest line length, high-contrast body text, and serif headings using system-available fonts. Links are blue, visited links are purple, and hover states underline the text, mimicking long-standing web conventions.
History
The design language grew out of early web encyclopedias and has remained stable for years. Its hallmark features include subtle borders, pale gray panels, and an economy of decoration.
The encyclopedic style prioritizes clarity and neutrality over ornamentation.
Tables use thin borders and muted headings. Infoboxes float to the right on wider viewports and become block-level elements on small screens.
| Element | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sidebar | Section navigation | Left column, fixed width |
| Infobox | Key facts | Floats right on desktop |
| Links | Page navigation | Smooth scroll enabled |
Design
Typography
Headings use a classic serif stack; body text is set in a modern system UI sans for legibility on screens. Font sizes, margins, and line heights mirror the familiar encyclopedic rhythm.
Color and borders
The palette relies on whites and soft grays with hairline borders. Link colors follow convention for quick recognition.
