Implies
- Font:
- Display: humanist-sans with civic gravitas — e.g. Inter, Söhne, Larsseit, Untitled Sans, ABC Diatype, GT America
- Body: transitional or old-style serif optimized for long reading — e.g. Source Serif 4, Tiempos Text, Charter, Lyon Text, Mercury Text, Adobe Caslon Pro
- Color:
- Temperature: warm
- Palette: cream paper + terracotta + forest + ink — #f6f1e7 background, #c2440a terracotta, #2d4a32 forest, #1a1612 ink-brown (NOT pure black)
- Background: #f6f1e7 (cream/manila paper) or #f9f4ea (lighter cream) — pure #ffffff feels antiseptic in this persona
- Density: generous 1.7 — line-height 1.65 on serif body at 18-20px, paragraph spacing 1em, section padding 80-120px
- Layout: centered 720-840px reading column with wider feature blocks, footnotes as side-notes on desktop, multi-column footer (4-6 cols) with full institutional credits
- Imagery: archival photography, hand-drawn illustration, halftone treatments, library stamp aesthetics, no glossy product renders
- Motion: minimal — instant or 200ms linear, page-turn metaphors acceptable, no scroll-jacking, no hover-zoom on cards
