The color of a settled definition.

Quiet ink, one clarifying signal.

Meaning work is careful work. The palette is mostly ink and paper, the colors of a reference text, with a single signal hue to mark the term in focus. Restraint is the point: the words carry the weight, the color only points.

Reads like a reference.

A serif for the entry, a mono for the key.

Design for Meaning borrows the feel of a good dictionary. A literary serif sets headings and definitions; a quiet sans carries the interface; a mono stamps the term slugs, aliases, and the agent-readable keys that make the lexicon legible to machines.
