GMK Modern Dolch Light on many keyboards

GMK Modern Dolch Light

GMK Modern Dolch Light and Modern Dolch on Dolch PAC keyboards

Inspiration

Modern Dolch Light was born out of Modern Dolch. Modern Dolch Light features cool greys on both the alphas and modifiers. It uses the grey from Modern Dolch modifiers for the legends, to give it that unique low contrast and calming look. To add some vibrancy we added a variation of the familiar cyan and red/pink accents found in the original Modern Dolch. While this set is not necessarily a Dolch colorway, the name is there to show the origin of the design. One thing is for sure, this set will settle perfectly in every collection as an easy-on-the-eyes colorway that will go with any keyboard!
