Big fan of this KanjiTalk 6 aesthetic

Big fan of this KanjiTalk 6 aesthetic. The brutalist sparseness of System 6 before they added the little 3D touches and proper color icons, and the uncomfortably oversized fonts used to fit the detail needed to show readable Kanji causing everything to feel a bit cramped and misaligned.

A screenshot of KanjiTalk 6. The only splashes of color are an orange wallpaper pattern, the color apple logo in the menu bar, a highlight color on two folders and the 32-bit QuickDraw icon in the system folder. Everything else is black and white.
