## Overview

An academic archive exploring theoretical concepts through text-heavy editorial design.

*A theoretical art journal*

## Colors

Strict monochrome for maximum readability and academic focus

- **Background (`#FFFFFF`)** — uses `bg` token
- **Primary text (`#2C3829`)** — uses `ink` token
- **Muted (`#2C3829`)** — uses `muted` token
- **Borders (`rgba(44,56,41,1)`)** — uses `line` token

## Typography

- **Display:** transitional-serif
- **Body:** monospace
- **Mono:** monospace

- Use Century Schoolbook for headings and Next Mono for body text.
- Maintain strict 400 weight throughout.
- Keep line-height tight at 1.3x font size.

## Layout

5-column asymmetric grid with variable widths

*Rhythm:* Strict 4px base grid

## Elevation & Depth

- Borders: 1px solid #2C3829

## Shapes

- `sm`: 0px
- `md`: 0px
- `lg`: 0px
- `pill`: 0px

## Components

- **button:** Simple text links with underline
- **card:** Vertical text blocks separated by borders
- **chip:** Uppercase text labels
- **input:** None
- **hero:** Typography-focused header with dense text

## Do's and Don'ts

**Don't:**
- Don't use sans-serif fonts — screenshot shows serif for headings and monospace for body text
- Don't add shadows — screenshot shows flat, borderless design
- Don't use bright accent colors — screenshot shows strict monochrome palette
- Don't add border-radius — screenshot shows sharp rectangular corners
- Don't use large body font sizes — screenshot shows small 10px text
- Don't add decorative images — screenshot shows purely typographic layout

## System Prompt (paste into AI agent)

```
This site is a theoretical academic archive exploring concepts like uncertainty through dense text-based layouts. It uses a strict monochrome palette with dark green-black (#2C3829) ink on white (#FFFFFF) backgrounds. Typography combines Century Schoolbook (transitional-serif) for headings with Next Mono (monospace) for body text. The layout is a multi-column grid with tight spacing. Critical constraints: Never use sans-serif fonts, never add shadows, never use bright colors, never add border-radius, keep body text small (10px), and maintain purely typographic design without decorative images.
