# Where the two fight
# - 80’s Editorial and Gen X Soft Club share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - 80’s Editorial: Type that is too small is a barrier, not a mood. Check legibility at real size.
# - Gen X Soft Club: Blur alone erases the contours. Keep the title or a structural line hard.
