What's inside

Apple system fonts

SF Pro throughout — no downloads, crisp at every size, native on every device.

Warm vermilion accent

An editorial accent that shifts to a lighter coral in the dark so it always reads clearly.

Drop cap & big headlines

An oversized opening capital and a confident title scale set an unmistakable tone.

Flagged section heads

A short accent bar marks each section — structure you can scan.

Full-bleed images

Photos span the full column edge-to-edge, with captions kept neatly inset.

Light & dark, done right

Both themes are designed, not inverted — with a warm ground on either side.
