# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=din-1451+neo-grotesque-sans
# DIN 1451 carries the structure. Neo-grotesque Sans appear as accents, each further back than the last.

Structural cues: An engineered skeleton; Unity as standard; The language of road signs; Trust in impersonality. Accent cues, used sparingly: Even, closed letterforms; Low contrast; Large x-height; A voice that performs neutrality. 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: Aim for the same appearance on screen and paper, with minimal color. Mood: Trust, Technology, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. 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.

# 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.
# - Neo-grotesque Sans: Neutrality here is a design ideology, not a fact, and reaching for it as a safe default erases the character you meant to convey and leaves documents that all sound alike.
