# DIN 1451 carries the structure. GOV.UK Design System appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from DIN 1451 (Style, 1931–) and its accent from GOV.UK Design System (Style, 2012–). Structural cues: An engineered skeleton; Unity as standard; The language of road signs; Trust in impersonality. Accent cues, used sparingly: One undecorated left aligned column, with almost no boxes and no shadows; A green button with square corners and a darker green band along its bottom edge, which drops by that exact depth when pressed; Whatever holds keyboard focus turns yellow with a black rule drawn beneath it; Type sizes step coarsely through 48, 36, 24, 19 and 16px with nothing in between. Composition: Information stacked flush left, arrows aligned to cap height. Type and lettering: Condensed or standard width chosen by panel, spacing kept tight. Let one material quality come from the second style: Colour is tied to meaning and never used decoratively. Buttons keep a corner radius of zero and gain their thickness from a band of their own darker shade along the bottom edge. The focus state is always yellow ground with a black underline.. Mood: Trust, Technology, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #0B0C0C, #FFDD00, #0F7A52. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 81 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - DIN 1451: Borrowing it for long body copy because the impersonality appeals gives the text a hard even texture that resists being read through.
# - GOV.UK Design System: Tidying the look by rounding button corners or thinning the borders on form inputs deletes the two signals this style relies on entirely, the pressable thickness and the position of focus.
