Portrait and study illustrations

The bookshop portrait of Iryna, writing detail and books-and-coffee still life were created using OpenAI ImageGen with user-provided visual references. The source identity document and its private details are not published. The supplied lifestyle images guide styling and are not reproduced as original photographs. The portrait was locally retouched for skin texture, eye detail and hair edges, while keeping its identity and composition. This remains an illustrative portrait.

Typography and icons

Bodoni Moda and Source Serif 4 are locally hosted open-source typefaces under the SIL Open Font License. Interface icons are from Phosphor Icons. The IS monogram was created for this project.
