One clear line, through the noise.

Keep clear space around the mark equal to the height of the warm point. Use terracotta on dark, ember-ink on light, and the reversed mark anywhere colour can't print.

Don't recolour the strokes, make every line solid, add glow or shadow, stretch the mark, or place the bright core on a light background (it fails contrast — use ember-ink).

High-contrast serif for headlines and the editorial voice. Use roman for weight; italic terracotta for the turn of phrase.

Clean modern sans for the wordmark, UI, and body. Medium weight, slightly tight tracking.
