Compose two styles

Rather than blending two styles into a middle, this assigns them roles: one carries the structure, the other appears as an accent. Where the two fight, it says so before you start.

How to divide the work

Composition
Follow Cyberpunk: Stack information densely on dark planes
Type
Set in Cyberpunk's manner (Angular sans, monospace, multiple scripts), and let Luxury Minimal's lettering (High-contrast serif with a small sans) appear only where you want the eye to catch.
Material
Ground in Cyberpunk's material (Black, teal, red neon, raindrops); bring in exactly one thing from Luxury Minimal (Off-white, black, faint textures of stone and cloth).
Colour
Build on #091b21, #05b7b2, #f04445 and admit one accent from #ece8df, #887a68, #1d1b18.

Where they fight

  • Cyberpunk and Luxury Minimal share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.

Caution

  • Cyberpunk Don't use Asian cities as a symbol of otherness. Make the fictional social order concrete.
  • Luxury Minimal Tiny type and faint color are not luxury. Being readable comes first.
