# Visual style: chalkboard Classroom chalkboard — a dark slate field, soft chalk-stroke line work, powdery pastel accents. Nostalgic and instructional. For teaching decks, tutorials, school / academic content, retro-classroom atmosphere. --- ## 1. Shape & decoration - Shape language: chalk-stroke line work with slightly diffused, dry-medium edges; sketched boxes, brackets, arrows in chalk. Confident but never mechanical — the sketched boxes and arrows are `` with non-aligned points; a primitive `` / `` snaps the chalk back to mechanical. - Decoration: underlines and emphasis marks; a few sprinkled chalk stars / dots. Blackboard pedagogy — organized sections, a clear central focus. - Whitespace: the dark board reads as room; let chalk marks breathe rather than crowd. ## 2. Typography character - Hand-lettered chalk character for titles; legible body. Dry, nostalgic, classroom-warm. > Families are chosen at confirmation `g`; this style asks for a hand-lettered chalk title *character*. ## 3. Using the deck's colors - Dark slate field; off-white chalk carries most marks; the deck's colors appear as soft, powdery pastel chalk accents, used sparingly. - Restrained and powdery — never saturated fills. > HEX values come from confirmation `e`; this style only governs the chalk-on-slate, powdery-accent discipline — it names no colors. (Dark-field legibility: [`shared-standards.md §6`](../shared-standards.md).) ## 4. Texture / elevation - Flat — depth from chalk-stroke weight, not material. Chalk-dust grain texture across the board is on-brand; no drop shadows. ## 5. Paired image-rendering `chalkboard` — chalk-on-slate imagery with the same classroom feel.
