A festival measured in light

KELVIN

Every hour of the festival is a different temperature of light. Scroll from candlelight to the far side of blue, and the whole place travels with you.

A programme you do not read. You feel it, in the colour of the light.

How the colour works

2000 K

Warm

Fire, candle, sodium. Long wavelengths, heavy type, the room pulled close.

6500 K

Noon

Direct daylight. The page turns bright, the type opens up, everything is legible at once.

10000 K

Cool

The blue after sunset, then past it. Short wavelengths, light type, the room goes deep.

10,000 K

Come for the whole spectrum.

KELVIN is a fictional festival, built as a showcase of scroll-driven colour and kinetic type.
