Raw Blame History

Visual style: ink-wash

New-Chinese ink-wash — a rice-paper field, vast literati whitespace, restrained brush marks, a single seal-stamp accent. Still, considered, Eastern. For cultural reading-shares, philosophy, heritage, self-cultivation, 新中式 narratives.


1. Shape & decoration

  • Shape language: minimal brush-stroke marks and hairline dividers; the occasional ink-dark block; a single seal-stamp (印章) square as a focal accent. No cards, no boxes — emptiness is the structure. The brush-stroke and ink-bleed marks are irregular <path> shapes with uneven control points — never an <ellipse> / <circle> standing in for a wash, which reads as fake ink. (The seal-stamp square is the one deliberate hard edge.)
  • Decoration: almost none; what little appears reads as brush and seal. Asymmetric, scroll-like composition with deliberate off-balance.
  • Whitespace: vast and intentional — the rice-paper field carries most of the page; a few elements float in great calm.

2. Typography character

  • Brush / serif character for titles (calligraphic, expressive) against a clean modern sans body — a Kai × Hei contrast axis. Large airy titles, generous leading, vertical rhythm welcome.

Families are chosen at confirmation g; this style asks for a calligraphic-brush title × clean-sans body character.

3. Using the deck's colors

  • A pale rice-paper field dominates; ink-dark carries type and the rare ink shape; a single warm seal-red accent appears at one key point — scarce, like a stamp on a scroll.
  • Near-monochrome ink discipline — restraint is the aesthetic, not abundance.

HEX values come from confirmation e; this style only governs the ink-on-paper, single-seal-accent discipline — it names no colors.

4. Texture / elevation

  • Flat — emptiness and brush weight carry depth, not shadow. Optional faint paper grain or low-opacity ink-bleed wash; no drop shadows.

5. Paired image-rendering

ink-notes or watercolor — mono-ink or soft-wash imagery that shares the literati restraint.
