# Visual style: ink-notes Whiteboard-ink minimalism — a pale field, confident black hand-ink line work, sparse semantic color. Considered and manifesto-clear, the professional end of hand-drawn. For methodology, before/after essays, mindset-shift narratives, technical manifestos. --- ## 1. Shape & decoration - Shape language: hand-drawn line work with slight, intentional wobble — boxes, arrows, dividers and brackets sketched as if on a thoughtful whiteboard; never mechanically straight — realize it as `` / `` with off-grid points, not `` / `` primitives. Line defines structure; no filled cards. - Decoration: minimal — a few doodle marks (stars, dashes, dots, underlines) for emphasis. Restraint is the look; clutter breaks the "considered" feel. - Whitespace: generous and empty; the pale field carries most of the canvas, elements float with room around them. ## 2. Typography character - Hand-lettered / humanist character for titles — bold, slightly oversized, confident. Plain legible sans for body. - Reads as written-by-hand-but-deliberate, not corporate-precise. > Families are chosen at confirmation `g`; this style asks for a humanist / hand-lettered title *character*. ## 3. Using the deck's colors - Near-monochrome: ink-dark line work on a pale field does ~85% of the work; the deck's accent appears only as a semantic mark (risk / positive / highlight) under ~10% of canvas. - Color carries meaning, not decoration — one or two accents, used where they signify. > HEX values come from confirmation `e`; this style only governs the monochrome-with-semantic-accent discipline — it names no colors. ## 4. Texture / elevation - Strictly flat — no shadows, no paper grain (the field stays clean). Depth reads from line weight and spacing alone. ## 5. Paired image-rendering `ink-notes` — black-ink visual-note imagery on a clean field, matching the considered hand-drawn aesthetic.
