# 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.
