GMK Alexandria
Intro
“There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance.” Ali ibn Abi Talib
From us here at KeyLabs, an IC for a set we’ve been working on for some time now - GMK Alexandria.
This keyset takes its namesake from the Great Library of Alexandria - a tribute to the preservation of guiding principles like truth, knowledge, and wisdom.
The color palette evokes imagery of texts from a bygone era, with yellowed pages and worn leather bindings - yet standing the test of time.
Alexandria is an homage to great GMK sets of yore - and by that I mean actually fairly recently in the grand scheme of things, but let’s go with it.
What we determine to be “true” evolves over time, and the human pursuit of knowledge is ongoing.
Alexandria will mirror that concept. Nothing you see here is final, this is an interest check after all.
