About this design

The headline is set in JetBrains Mono, the supporting text in Inter. The photo fills the whole card under a tint that keeps the text readable.

Its native size is 1280x720 (youTube videos and any 16:9 slot). The editor also exports the same design at 1200x630, 1080x1080, 1080x1350, 1080x1920, 1000x1500, restacked for each shape rather than squashed, so a YouTube thumbnail and the matching youtube thumbnail for a blog post can come from one card.
