Key Takeaways
- Primary ( 444444): Main text and structural ink.

- Tertiary ( FFA133): Rare utility highlight or status spark.
- Keep all visible type mono and pixel-driven.
- Use giant type blocks as composition, not just as labels.
- Let small body copy feel like specimen notation rather than polished editorial text.
