Two modes — paper & twilight.

Same palette · flipped canvas · same semantic tokens
Paper mode — default · long-form

We make the impossible.

Warm off-white canvas. Twilight navy ink. Accents saturate — coral, teal, amber sit well on paper because they're not trying to glow.

Twilight mode — hero · nocturnal

We make the impossible.

Twilight navy canvas. Paper ink. Accents soften slightly — they're reading against navy, not black, so they stay jewel-toned, not neon.
