PBTfans Thermal Keycaps
PBTfans Thermal is a keycap set that features gray legends on a smoky black base following the low contrast design of X-Ray. At first glance, it reads almost monochrome - but under directional light, the legends and edges emerge from shadow and reflection, like a thermal image resolving from the dark.
Inspiration:
Thermal is a continuation of my translucent-tech obsession, an inverse of X-Ray that uses light and shadow to reveal detail, like an image slowly resolving under the right exposure.

"Thermal continues my fascination with translucent-tech and the theme of imaging. This time, it’s the opposite of X-Ray, using light and shadow to reveal details, like an image gradually emerging from darkness."
