The `mono` slot binds Barlow Condensed (chrome / pill / legend voice); the `script` slot binds Bowlby One (320px quote-mark glyph only — no other handwritten register permitted). ## §A Director's intent Stardos Stencil carries every headline and numeral with its characteristic ink-break gaps; Barlow Condensed extra-heavy runs all uppercase chrome, metadata, pills, and legends; Inter handles sentence-case body paragraphs. Depth is **flat by design** — no drop shadows, no gradients. Depth comes from saturated color blocks against a warm bone field and from generous 22-26px tablet radii. Cards tile the canvas geometrically. The system's identity hinges on **warm neutrals** (bone / paper) tinted with brand DNA, not on a fixed palette. The bone and paper anchors are declared as hue-anchor hexes in §B (§8.2 exception) so the archival register survives any brand color; brand-primary / -secondary / -accent ignite tablets, action-bars, section numerals, and pills as the saturated tile fills. Type runs **huge and uppercase**: cover hero 220px, section-divider numeral 540px, tablet numerals 220px, stats 160px. Scale is the primary expressive tool, color is secondary. Stencil ink-break glyphs are non-negotiable on every headline; Barlow Condensed without ≥0.04em tracking reads as broken. Motion is **considered and declarative** — stamped, not glided. Headlines arrive with `power2.out` / `expo.out` (no overshoot, no bounce); numerals reveal with stepped emphasis (`steps()`) to feel printed rather than animated. Scene transitions are hard cuts or slow paper-wipe — never crossfade. **Class prefix `stn-`** (4 chars, lowercase-dash). Every component class is namespaced `stn-*`. ## §B Decoration tokens (merge into design.html `:root`) Stencil & Tablet declares **structural** tokens here (radii, pixel-tight pads, hairline borders, gap units) and **two hue-anchor hexes** for bone + paper. Color of tile fills, headlines, numerals, and pills flows from site brand DNA — `--brand-primary` / `--brand-secondary` / `--brand-accent` carry the saturated work. ```css /* §8.2 exception: warm-neutral hue anchors. The stencil-tablet identity depends on a warm bone field and a slightly-lighter paper card surface. Brand DNA's --canvas / --ink alone can't carry this — a cool or pure-white --canvas would break the archival, kraft-paper register every Stencil & Tablet slide depends on.

Fallbacks below are used only if the primary face fails to load. - **display**: `'Stardos Stencil'` · `'Allerta Stencil'` · `'Black Ops One'` wght 700 - **body**: `'Inter'` · `'IBM Plex Sans'` · `'Source Sans 3'` wght 400 - **mono**: `'Barlow Condensed'` · `'Oswald'` · `'Archivo Narrow'` wght 800 **Note:** `mono` slot is **deliberately not monospaced** — Stencil & Tablet has no mono role. Barlow Condensed sits in the mono slot because the preset uses it as the chrome / pill / legend voice (a condensed extra-heavy uppercase grotesque), playing the role mono plays in other presets (small labels, technical metadata). Build pipeline reads the third bullet for "small chrome labels"; we hand it Barlow. ## §T Type-role atlas (Phase 4b reads this to size text correctly) The atlas is the **sole authoring source** for non-component text — do NOT invent ad-hoc sizes. Stencil & Tablet's identity collapses if numerals drop below 160px or if Barlow Condensed runs without ≥0.04em tracking. ```type-roles [ { "id": "cover-hero", "family": "display", "purpose": "cover headline at maximum stencil scale — ink-break glyphs carry the system", "px_min": 140, "px_max": 220, "weight": 700, "leading": "0.82", "tracking": "-0.015em", "case": "upper", "sample_html": "

Apply to {NUM}, {KICKER}, and stat numerals. // RULE: scene transitions are hard cut OR paper-wipe (1 frame max). Crossfade kills // the archival register — slides must feel like turning a page, not dissolving. // RULE: type-in-motion on stencil headlines MUST stagger by word, never by character. // Per-character reveal breaks the ink-break glyph integrity. ``` ### §E.5 Motion choreography **Allowed primitives** - Stamped headline entry: y +24px → 0 + opacity 0 → 1 on `power2.out`, DUR.med. Stagger by word for multi-line stencil headlines. - Tablet tile-in: scale 0.96 → 1 + opacity, `expo.out`, DUR.med. Stagger 80-120ms across a tile row. - Numeral stamp: opacity stepped to 1 via `steps(6)` over DUR.med — feels like a stencil being pressed down rather than animated in. - Pill / chip reveal: opacity + y +8px → 0 on `power2.out`, DUR.snap. - Action-bar slide-in: x +40px → 0 + opacity, `expo.out`, DUR.med. - Quote-mark stamp: scale 1.04 → 1 + opacity, `expo.out`, DUR.slow. - Ambient: paper-grain opacity shimmer 0.04 → 0.06 (sine.inOut, 6s) on bone surfaces only — optional, very subtle. **Forbidden** - Crossfade, dissolve, blur transitions between scenes. - Back / elastic / bounce on any motion (`back.out`, `elastic.out`). - Per-character reveal on stencil headlines (breaks ink-break glyph integrity). - Drop-shadow tweens — the system is flat; introducing shadows for motion drama betrays the preset. - Rotation > 2deg on cards. Tablets sit square; only `--tilt-` decorative micro-rotations are permitted on stamp-style elements (action-bar tag, date-mark). - Glow / bloom / filter blur on any element. **Stagger budget** 180-220ms between elements — slower than 8-bit-orbit (80-120ms), faster than purely-editorial (240-280ms). The "considered" register wants you to feel each element arrive separately. Total scene-in stagger ≤ 700ms. **Transition between scenes** - Default: hard cut paired with a single percussive beat on the cut frame. - Alternative: paper-wipe — a 1-frame 100%-canvas brand-color flash, then cut. Use sparingly (≤ 1 per 60s video) on section beats. ## §G Voice transform recipe (apply to brand's voice from §1 DNA) Take the brand's product description / value prop. Transform with: 1. Strip filler words and articles where doing so doesn't break the imperative ("we", "really", "very", "the", "a" when not load-bearing). 2. Hero headlines: 2-5 words, UPPERCASE, broken across 2-3 lines via `
` — line breaks are part of the composition. 3. Eyebrows / kickers / chrome labels: UPPERCASE BARLOW CONDENSED with ≥0.04em tracking, terse noun phrases ("ISSUE 04", "PHASE II", "AGENCY × PARTNER"). 4. Stat numerals: bare digit + Barlow superscript suffix at 40px — `4M`, `99.9%`, `2.4×`. Never spell the unit. 5. Body paragraphs (Inter): sentence case, declarative, considered. One idea per sentence; never more than three sentences per card. 6. Pill / matrix labels: UPPERCASE single noun or 2-word phrase. Color carries semantic — teal=YES, mustard=PARTIAL, magenta=NO, paper-bordered=NOTE. **Example:** - IN: `Figma helps teams design products collaboratively in real time` - OUT: hero=`TEAMS.
DESIGN.
TOGETHER.` / eyebrow=`ISSUE 01 · REAL-TIME` / body (Inter)=`A shared canvas for product teams. Edit together, ship together — no more handoff drift.` ## §H Scene composition hints (Phase 4b layout guidance) **Surface alternation across scenes** - Default scene: `--surface-bone` field (warm cream, brand-tinted) holding rounded tablets + chrome. - Dark scene: `var(--ink)` field with bone-colored type. Reserved for agenda-style, section-divider, stats-headline, and quote-panel-containing slides. ≥1 dark scene per 60s video, never two consecutive. - Light card scene: tablets / process nodes / stats grid on bone field. - Quote scene: a single saturated-brand-color panel filling most of canvas, Bowlby-style chunky quote-mark beside stencil body. **Brand color placement (role contract)** - Brand colors **never appear as body text** (Inter). Only as: tile fills, section-divider numeral, action-bar fill, status pill fills, quote-panel fill, accent rules. - One scene = **one dominant brand color** carrying the focal tile / section numeral / action bar; the other two brand colors appear only as secondary tile fills in a multi-tile grid, or as small accents (legend swatch, divider rule, em-highlight span inside a stencil headline). - Suggested role mapping: `--brand-primary` → most-used accent (section dividers, principle cards, cover marks); `--brand-secondary` → cover hero em-highlight + quote-panel fill; `--brand-accent` → cool counterpart (process cards, matrix yes-pills). - Text-on-fill rule: text **never inverts to pure white**. Light text on dark fills is always `var(--surface-bone)` / `var(--anchor-bone)`, never `#fff`. This is the system's only color inversion. **Hero text / focal element** - One big stencil moment per scene. Cover hero 220px, section headline 92-120px, tablet numeral 220px, stat numeral 160px, section-divider mega-numeral 540px. - The 540px section-divider numeral pattern lives **on dark fields only** and pairs with a 120px stencil headline at bottom-right and a small Barlow eyebrow at top-right. - Never two hero-tier elements per scene. If a scene needs two "loud" moments, demote one to a tablet numeral. **Tablet doctrine** - Tablets ALWAYS carry a numeral above their headline. (See tablet.md.) - Tablet radius is 22-26px; square corners on cards / action bars / pills break the system. - Tablets tile flat — never stack. No z-index inside tablet grids. Gap between tablets is 22-28px and the bone field showing through IS the layout. **Pill convention (matrix only)** - Inside comparison matrices, status pills follow a fixed convention: teal=yes, mustard=partial, magenta=no, paper-bordered=note. - Outside matrices, pills are decorative and color is interchangeable. **Density philosophy** - Filled and confident. A typical scene covers most of the canvas in color blocks. A scene that feels broken in this system is one that's mostly empty bone — the design needs the blocks to hold its identity. - Exception: section-divider scene, where a single 540px numeral against `var(--ink)` IS the design and emptiness is intentional. ## §I Page-level CSS (overrides design.html's neutral chrome — makes the doc itself read as Stencil & Tablet) ```css /* ── Preset-native typography vars (chromeFonts.googleFontsHref). */ :root { --f-disp-native: "Stardos Stencil", "Allerta Stencil", "Black Ops One", "Impact", "Arial Black", serif; --f-body-native: "Inter", "IBM Plex Sans", "Source Sans 3", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, system-ui, sans-serif; --f-script-native: "Bowlby One", "Stardos Stencil", "Black Ops One", "Impact", "Arial Black", serif; --f-mono-native: "Barlow Condensed", "Oswald", "Archivo Narrow", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; } /* .preset-native-scope: re-bind var(--font-*) to preset-native families for component * previews + §T atlas.
