Inspired by the realm of microbiology with hints of geometry, the mint and dark teal color palette evokes an organic, scientific laboratory feel. The special designs pay tribute to the fundamental building blocks of life, featuring geometric virus structures, DNA helices, and a dense cellular pattern on the spacebar.

“The first bird I searched for was the nightjar, which used to nest in the valley. Its song is like the sound of a stream of wine spilling from a height into a deep and booming cask. It is an odorous sound, with a bouquet that rises to the quiet sky. In the glare of day it would seem thinner and drier, but dusk mellows it and gives it vintage. If a song could smell, this song would smell of crushed grapes and almonds and dark wood. The sound spills out, and none of it is lost. The whole wood brims with it.” ― j.a. baker, The Peregrine

I wanted this set to feel like a balance between calm and spark: something that doesn’t shout all the time, but knows when to stand out. The colours come from what I picture as a fox in winter: bright orange against quiet white, with the deep black of the board (if you use a black case) as the grounding shadow. It leans toward minimalism, but I didn’t want it to feel empty. Therefore, the icons and little details give it some life. For me, it’s a set that feels peaceful to work on, but every so often it catches my eye with a bit of boldness, and that’s exactly what I like about it.

I have always appreciated capybaras as an animal. So much so that ive decided to create these keycaps inspired by the beautiful creature. These keycaps aim to be chill and cozy, like the capybaras personality.
