hi there is an effort about originality though the problem is that the concerned originality is, sorry to say just this, not working indeed … the main problem with what u have here is that the originality i dealt with is basically making u end up with having very little space for numbers when this is the central part actually … this issue, u also have reinforced it by the use of the typo, the used font is very thin to say the least and when u put two on two together the bottom line is that date are neither super visible nor are they very readable …
i like the footer though should give a little bit more space so that this is breathing indeed and it would take to push all the upper elements slightly up for u to do just this
“happy new year” makes no sense in my view , think about it when u are in october … u are very far from the new year again … i know u used this to “rebalance” the space and fo back to a more linear organization and catch up for the slanted space on top of it but this is not working with this text already , not to mention that the text is not outstanding enough and that this is “choking” out of lack of white space around, too
finally globally the typo part is not satisfying enough at this stage for a place like GR where people put the focus much on typo …
