## Overview

A newsletter-press system: monospace body, one rubber-stamp orange.

## Colors

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

- **Primary (`#1B1714`):** Headlines and core text.
- **Secondary (`#716A62`):** Borders, captions, and metadata.
- **Tertiary (`#D9541A`):** The sole driver for interaction. Reserve it.
- **Neutral (`#F6F1E7`):** The page foundation.

## Typography

- **display:** IBM Plex Mono 3.25rem
- **h1:** IBM Plex Mono 1.8rem
- **body:** IBM Plex Mono 0.94rem
- **label:** IBM Plex Mono 0.72rem

## 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.
