# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=humanist-sans+modular-type-system
# Humanist Sans carries the structure. Modular Type 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 Humanist Sans (Style, 1916–) and its accent from Modular Type System (Layout, modernist–variable type). Structural cues: Roman proportions; Open apertures; Gentle stroke modulation; High legibility at small sizes. Accent cues, used sparingly: Ratio scales; Repeating hierarchy; Baseline grid; Variable widths. Composition: Range left at short measure, fixing height relations with arrows and symbols. Type and lettering: Pick sizes that keep apertures open and resist tightening the tracking. Let one material quality come from the second style: Fix the rules of size, leading and margin before color. Mood: Trust, Intimacy, Technology, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #eeece5, #3c64bb, #171714. 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
# - Both belong to Type Classification, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Humanist Sans: Loosening spacing or weight in search of warmth costs legibility at distance, and accuracy as guidance is the first thing to break.
# - Modular Type System: Rule-keeping is not the goal. Leave room for the content's exceptions.
