# 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 `<path>` / `<polyline>` with off-grid points, not `<rect>` / `<line>` 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.
