## Overview

A writer's tool. Monospaced throughout, manila paper background, single red for edits. Every word carries weight.

## Colors

The palette is built around high-contrast neutrals and a single accent that drives interaction.

- **Primary (`#1A0F00`):** Headlines and core text.
- **Secondary (`#6B5B3E`):** Borders, captions, and metadata.
- **Tertiary (`#A8271E`):** The sole driver for interaction. Reserve it.
- **Neutral (`#EDDFB6`):** The page foundation.

## Typography

- **display:** Special Elite 3.75rem
- **h1:** Special Elite 2.25rem
- **body:** Courier Prime 1rem
- **label:** Courier Prime 0.75rem

## Do's and Don'ts

- **Do** use Tertiary for exactly one action per screen.
- **Do** let Neutral carry the composition — negative space is a feature.
- **Don't** introduce gradients. This system is flat on purpose.
- **Don't** mix Tertiary with alternate accents; the single-accent rule is load-bearing.
