Palette

Night#141b2b
Panel#fff6e3
Bulb#ffc857
Tube#ff4f9a
Plastic red#d8322c
Up (teal)#3ad6b3

Day mode is the sign unlit: pale sky, bulbs grey, tube dark glass, panels white.

Type

Bungee Shade for the wordmark only. Bungee for sign words: Static, desk names, badges, buttons.

Barlow Condensed 600/700 for every headline: the changeable letters.

Barlow 400/600 for reading and controls.

Principles

  • Light is information. Bulbs lit means live, held, or yours; bulbs dim means idle.
  • Two materials only: the night and backlit acrylic. Long reading happens on a panel, never on the sky.
  • Signage is short and centered; everything else is left-aligned prose.
  • Red is plastic letters: Static, prices, the one primary button.

Where it goes

  • News: the lead is the readerboard; desks are attractions under a bulb rule.
  • Static: a lit panel cutting into the night, red sign word, no tube glow.
  • Lounge: cards are prize cabinets with their own bulb strip; the sheet is a ticket window.
  • Tools: inputs are panels; the built command is shown on the sky with bulb-yellow values.
  • Charts: lines on the night in the up/down pair; the Signal history is a bulb meter.

Risk to weigh: the dark default is native to the idea, and long editions will read as light panels on a dark page rather than a paper page.

Hall wall#e6e4dc
Board#1b1e23
Flap text#f4f3ee
Amber (now)#f2a72b
Green (settled)#4cc36b
Red (off)#ff5a4f

Dark mode is the hall at night: the wall goes charcoal, the board stays black.

Type

Archivo alone, at three widths. Narrow (66 to 80%) on flaps, where space is fixed. Semi-condensed (84 to 90%) for headlines on the wall. Normal width for reading and controls.

Tabular figures everywhere a number can change.

Principles

  • The board is data; the wall is prose. Nothing longer than a headline goes on a flap.
  • A flap changes only when the world changes. The flip (one half-turn, 240 ms) is the only motion.
  • Three status colors, fixed meanings: amber is now, green is settled, red is off. No other hue.
  • Every tile shows its hinge. The seam is the identity.

Where it goes

  • News: the front page is one board; editions are boards with a longer wall below.
  • Static: an amber “Now” row at the top of the board, amber time and desk flaps.
  • Lounge: each card is a column of flaps; offers, curses, and storage are status flaps.
  • Tools: kiosk controls on the wall; results print onto a flap row.
  • Charts: sparklines on a flap in the status pair; history is a seven-flap strip.

Risk to weigh: the flap grammar is strict, so long headlines truncate on the board and need the wall to finish the thought.

Safety paper#dfe4d6
Engraving#243128
Currency green#2f6f4e
Record blue#2b4a86
Objection red#a92a21
Seal gold#b3903c

Dark mode is the vault: green-black ground, pale engraving, gold seals.

Type

Libre Caslon Text 400/700 and italic for the title, every headline, reading, and the colophon.

Libre Franklin 500 to 800 for document anatomy: series, numbers, labels, figures, buttons. Tabular figures.

Principles

  • Every surface is a document: a frame, a number, a signature line.
  • Color is authority. Green is money, blue is what NOISE writes in, red is an objection. Reporting is engraving black.
  • Ornament lives only in frames and seals. Content is set plain.
  • Ledger rules carry the tables: blue horizontals, one red margin.

Where it goes

  • News: the edition is a certificate; desks are ruled ledgers under a double rule.
  • Static: a red-ruled notice between the title and the ledger.
  • Lounge: Furbs are engraved coupons with serials and seals; a curse is a red objection chip.
  • Tools: a bank form: fill-in lines, entries in record blue.
  • Charts: engraved 1.5 px lines in the market pair; the Signal history is a stepped ledger meter.

Risk to weigh: the most formal of the five, so the lounge and the games have to borrow their humor from copy rather than color.

Manila#dcbb72
Form stock#fcfaf2
Printed ink#1d1a15
Carbon blue#2b52a6
Stamp red#c9332a
Carbon pink#f5d7d7

Dark mode is a blueprint: cyan-blue ground, white lines, yellow pencil for stamps.

Type

Overpass 600/800 for everything the form prints: labels, section bars, the wordmark, buttons.

Courier Prime 400/700 for everything typed into it: headlines, blurbs, prices, the colophon. The largest text on the page is typewritten.

Principles

  • It is paperwork. Every block is a numbered field with a printed label and typed content.
  • Three inks only: printed black, carbon blue for what NOISE fills in, stamp red for interruptions.
  • Stamps are the only thing allowed to be crooked, and the only thing allowed to be loud.
  • Empty is a field marked vacant, never a blank.

Where it goes

  • News: the edition is Form N-1; desks are lettered sections with a black bar.
  • Static: field 1, a red stamp beside a typed headline.
  • Lounge: Form F-7, a permit: photo boxes, checkboxes for storage, a pink carbon slip for offers, a crooked stamp for a curse.
  • Tools: literally forms. Results land in a field labeled “copy this into the chat.”
  • Charts: blue pen lines on the form; the Signal history is a typed line.

Risk to weigh: the joke is load-bearing. It is the most on-canon of the five and the one most likely to tire if every page is a form.

Album page#fbfaf4
Outline navy#1c2340
Coral#ff5d73
Sun#ffc93c
Teal#1fb5a3
Album blue#2e63e8

Dark mode is lights-out: navy pages, white outlines, stickers stay bright.

Type

Fredoka 600/700, slightly wide, for the wordmark, headlines, sticker labels, and buttons.

Rubik 400 to 600 for reading, prices, and controls. Tabular figures on anything that counts.

Principles

  • Everything is a numbered sticker in a slot. Missing slots are invitations, never blanks.
  • One flat color per desk or rarity, always the same one. Navy outlines hold everything together.
  • Round and bold, no shadows, no gradients except the holographic foil, which is a real object.
  • Motion answers a hand: a sticker tilts when touched, nothing moves on its own.

Where it goes

  • News: the front page is a spread; stories are numbered stickers with desk pills.
  • Static: the one holographic sticker, slapped across the top.
  • Lounge: the album page proper. Finishes are foil dots; offers are swap tags; a curse is the one black sticker.
  • Tools: thick-outlined inputs, a coral pill to build, a dashed slot for the result.
  • Charts: 2.5 px lines in the up/down pair; the Signal history is a row of filled dots.

Risk to weigh: the friendliest of the five, and the one that most changes how the news reads. It suits the lounge and the games first.

Dial ivory#efe7c9
Bakelite#2a1f1a
Needle red#c8102e
Brass#b08d57
Lit dial (night)#e0973d
Up#2f7d5b

Dark mode is the set at night: bakelite everywhere, only the scale glows amber.

Type

Jost alone. 700 letterspaced for the wordmark and scale words, 600 for headlines, 500 tabular for every reading, 400 for prose.

Uppercase appears only where a radio would print it: the scale, the knobs, the readings.

Principles

  • Everything measurable sits on a scale under a needle: the desks, the Signal Read, the presets.
  • Two materials, bakelite and glass, plus brass hardware. Nothing else is decorated.
  • Static is the hiss between stations: a hatched band, never a color.
  • Round corners only where hardware is round: knobs, keys, the primary button.

Where it goes

  • News: the scale is the section nav; the needle sits on the page you are reading.
  • Static: a hatched interference band with the headline on glass.
  • Lounge: your hand is the preset keys; a curse is a red key.
  • Tools: glass inputs on brass rails; the built command prints on the cabinet.
  • Charts: needle meters for levels, 2 px traces for markets.

Risk to weigh: the scale is a strong navigation idea but it needs a fixed set of desks; it does not scale past eight stations.

Kraft#d9c7a0
Ink#221c17
Printer’s red#b32e1f
Pasted slip#f3ecdb
Faded ink#6d5f4b
Up#2f6b3a

Dark mode is the reversed poster: ink paper, kraft-colored type, the same red.

Type

Ultra for the wordmark, the lead line, desk names, and Furb names: the fat wood type.

Arvo 700 for headlines, 400 for reading, italic for asides and counts. Small tracked caps only on the poster’s connective lines.

Principles

  • Center everything. The axis is the design; the stack is the layout.
  • Size is hierarchy. Color never is, except the one red ink for Static, prices, and the kicker.
  • Rules and ornaments separate every block; whitespace alone never does.
  • Kraft is the paper; the pasted slip is the only white, and it is always a little crooked.

Where it goes

  • News: the edition is a playbill of the evening; desks are acts under a fat-face heading.
  • Static: a stop-press slip pasted over the poster.
  • Lounge: a menagerie of woodcut Furbs, admission in red.
  • Tools: an order form printed at the foot of the bill.
  • Charts: engraved ink lines, centered; the Signal history is a row of type ornaments.

Risk to weigh: centered stacks read slowly at length, so long editions would want more columns than the poster wants to give.

Rubric red#b3202c
Gilt#c9a24b
Marginalia#6b665c
Leather (night)#14120f

Dark mode is the leather binding: warm ivory text, the rubric brightened, the gilt kept.

Type

EB Garamond alone: 400 for text, 500 for headings, 600 for rubrics and the wordmark, italic for asides, real small caps for running heads and labels.

Old-style figures in prose; lining, tabular figures in the ledger and prices.

Principles

  • Two justified columns, one serif, a measure under forty characters. The reading experience is the design.
  • Red is rubric: headings, verse numbers, and everything NOISE itself adds. Reporting is black.
  • The gilt edge appears once, on the page edge.
  • No boxes. Hierarchy comes from small caps, italic, the drop cap, and the verse number.

Where it goes

  • News: the edition is a chapter; stories are numbered verses; desks are rubric heads.
  • Static: a red-ruled marginal note above the reading.
  • Lounge: a concordance of woodcut Furbs numbered in roman; a curse is a red word.
  • Tools: fill-in lines in italic; the result on a red rule.
  • Charts: hairline engraved traces; the Signal history is a written sentence.

Risk to weigh: it is beautiful to read and slow to scan; a phone gets one column and a very long page.

Business line#00a651
Science line#0072bc
Alert yellow#ffd400

Also: Sports orange #f58220, Town purple #7f3f98. Dark mode is the reversed sign: black ground, white type, line colors unchanged.

Type

Sofia Sans alone. 800 for the wordmark, sign headlines, and prices; 700 for headlines, labels, and buttons; 400 for reading.

Big, tight, sentence case. Uppercase only on the alert word.

Principles

  • A black band with white type is the identity; everything else sits on white.
  • Each desk owns a line color, shown only as a disc. Text is never colored by desk.
  • Arrows point somewhere real: the previous edition, the archive. Nowhere else.
  • Alerts are yellow with a black hazard edge. Nothing else is striped or yellow.

Where it goes

  • News: the lead is a sign panel; headlines are a platform list with line discs.
  • Static: the service alert, hazard-edged.
  • Lounge: cards are sign panels with a black header strip; status is a rounded tag on the strip.
  • Tools: kiosk controls with 2 px borders; the result prints on a black band.
  • Charts: 2.5 px traces in the up/down pair; the Signal history is a row of discs.

Risk to weigh: the most conventional of the fifteen and the easiest to build, which is also why it could read as generic without the discs and the hazard edge.

Sand#e9d29b
Sage#5f7a5a
Poster paper#f0e6cf

Dark mode is the basin at night: navy sky, black mesa, sand type, and one pink neon dot where the casino is.

Type

Big Shoulders alone, with its optical sizes: 900 for the wordmark and plates, 800 for headlines, 500 for reading.

Uppercase for anything printed on a plate; sentence case on paper.

Principles

  • Flat color, hard edges, no outlines and no gradients: every shape is a screen-print layer.
  • The horizon is the page’s one picture; the sky holds the identity.
  • Five inks only. Sand is the paper of the plates; dusk is the paper of the lead.
  • Thick rules in sky orange separate; nothing is boxed with a hairline.

Where it goes

  • News: the poster header, then plates for the lead and instruments, then paper for the desks.
  • Static: a mesa-red advisory plate with a thick sand frame.
  • Lounge: Furbs as flat two-tone wildlife on sand cards; a curse is a mesa tag.
  • Tools: 3 px ink borders on paper; the result on a dusk plate.
  • Charts: 3 px square-capped traces; the Signal history is a sand bar meter.

Risk to weigh: a condensed gothic carries reading text less comfortably than the others, so editions would lean on shorter blurbs.

Red ribbon#c0392b
Perforation#b9c8b3
Microfiche (night)#10201a

Dark mode is the microfiche reader: the negative of the page, bars barely lighter than the ground.

Type

Doto 900, the dot-matrix head, for the wordmark, section heads, the level, Furb names, and the lead headline only.

Golos Text 400 to 800 for everything else, on a strict 24 px line grid so three lines fill one bar.

Principles

  • It is a report: run header, page number, end-of-report line. Nothing pretends otherwise.
  • The bars and the holes are the only graphics. No fills, no boxes; rules are dashed perforations or one solid line.
  • One ink plus the red ribbon, which is reserved for Static and the built result.
  • Every line sits on the 24 px grid; the bars stay aligned with the text.

Where it goes

  • News: the edition is one job run; desks are sections with a two-rule head.
  • Static: a red dashed band, the one word in red dot-matrix.
  • Lounge: a holdings report; Furbs print in ribbon ink; status is a plain word, red for a curse.
  • Tools: parameter entry on dotted fill lines; the result in red ribbon.
  • Charts: 2 px mitred traces; the Signal history is a typed line.

Risk to weigh: it is the most literal “the bot made this” look, and the dot-matrix head is the one element that could tire if overused; the rule above limits it to five places.

Process cyan#00aeef
Process magenta#ec008c
Process yellow#fff200
Comic red#ed1c24

Dark mode is the page on a dark table: panels stay white because they are the comic.

Type

Bangers for lettering: the wordmark, headlines, strip titles, figures, buttons.

Comic Neue 400/700 for balloons, captions, and controls.

Principles

  • Everything lives in a panel; the gutters are the only whitespace.
  • Lines are 3 px black. Tints are halftone dots in one process color per panel, never a flat wash.
  • Speech is a balloon (blurbs); fact is a caption box (sources, meta, the colophon).
  • Four process colors, flat and loud; the burst is the only irregular shape.

Where it goes

  • News: the front page is a Sunday page of strips; a desk is a strip with a tilted title plate.
  • Static: a yellow burst across the page.
  • Lounge: the cast: Furbs inked with 3 px outlines; a curse is the one black caption.
  • Tools: panels with 3 px inputs; the result in a caption line.
  • Charts: 3 px ink motion lines; the Signal history is a row of inked dots.

Risk to weigh: the loudest of the fifteen. It flatters the lounge and the games and asks the news to be read as a strip.

Also mint #9ad3b5, lemon #f5e27a, tangerine #f2b26a. Dark mode darkens the desk; the cards stay cards.

Type

Alfa Slab One for the large letters, every headline, denominations, and Furb names.

Karla 400 to 800 for the message side, labels, prices, and controls. Messages are written in pen blue.

Principles

  • Every unit is a white-bordered card on the desk. Nothing sits on the desk without a border.
  • The divided back is the grid: message left, address right, stamp top right, postmark over it.
  • Postal marks carry meaning: the stamp is the desk, the postmark is the time, airmail chevrons mean Static.
  • Pastels live only inside the large letters, stamps, and scenes; text is black and pen blue.

Where it goes

  • News: the lead is a postcard back; headlines are card fronts with a pastel band.
  • Static: the airmail card with red and blue chevrons.
  • Lounge: picture postcards of each Furb on a pastel scene; status is a dashed stamp.
  • Tools: address lines as inputs; the result in a dashed stamp box.
  • Charts: pen-blue 2 px traces; the Signal history is a row of tiny stamps.

Risk to weigh: the warmest and most nostalgic, and the one whose humor could wear thin on a daily news page; the lounge loves it.

Toner#111111
Toner grey#8a8a8a
Highlighter#f2f10a
Cut edge#c9c9c4
Strip white#ffffff

Dark mode is the negative copy: toner paper, white type, photocopied Furbs inverted, the highlighter unchanged.

Type

Anton for anything cut out: the wordmark, every headline, prices, tape labels, buttons.

Special Elite for everything typed: blurbs, labels, the colophon, the trade sheet.

Principles

  • Black and white only, plus one highlighter for Static and the result you copy out.
  • Everything is pasted: strips, tape, torn edges. Nothing is perfectly straight, but the grid underneath is.
  • Headlines are cut letters; body is typed. Never the reverse.
  • Pictures are photocopies: grey, contrasty, dotted.

Where it goes

  • News: the lead headline is cut word by word; other headlines are one strip each.
  • Static: highlighter across the typed line.
  • Lounge: a trade sheet of photocopied Furbs; a curse is black tape.
  • Tools: typed on dotted lines; the result highlighted.
  • Charts: 2 px toner lines with no color; up and down are words.

Risk to weigh: it refuses color entirely, so market movement and status must be carried by words, which is honest but slower to scan.

Button grey#efefef

Dark mode is the browser’s own dark scheme: black, white, lavender links, the same yellow mark.

Type

Whatever the device has: Times New Roman or its stand-in for everything, the system monospace for figures and commands.

Nothing is embedded, so the page weighs almost nothing and looks slightly different on every phone. That is the point.

Principles

  • The browser’s defaults are the design system. When a default is ugly, make it bigger, not prettier.
  • Structure is visible: rules, borders, numbered lists, tables, fieldsets. Semantics are the styling.
  • Two colors of meaning: link blue and the yellow mark for Static.
  • Zero decoration. The only image on any page is the Furb art.

Where it goes

  • News: a poster-sized heading, rules, an ordered list of headlines, bulleted desks.
  • Static: a highlighted word at the top of the page.
  • Lounge: a bordered table with the art in the first column; the action sheet is a fieldset with default buttons.
  • Tools: a form with real labels and inputs; the result in a pre block to copy.
  • Charts: a table column with a hairline trace; the Signal history is preformatted text.

Risk to weigh: it is a provocation as much as a proposal. It would be the fastest to build and the hardest to make feel cared for.
