Crypt & Colour
A black-first system. The page is always the crypt; colour only arrives with a creator. Each of the four creators owns one signature hue, and every accent on a page re-points to whoever signed it.

Creator signatures
Each creator is a colour pair: the signature (hair, glow, headlines, active borders) and its deep tone (backgrounds, radial washes). Black is always the second half of the pair.

Dante
The rotated square is the creator glyph. It always carries the creator colour.
Product card
Relic plinth: the piece sits lit on a wash of its lead creator’s deep colour, with a museum-style label beneath (family, name, “signed by”, store badges). On hover it lifts and the glow intensifies.
The lancet arch
The only rounded shape in the system: border-radius 999px 999px 2px 2px. Used for creator panels and scene frames. Product photos stay square so nothing is cropped.
