ConfidentialDECLASSIFIED ON RELEASE

Black out everything.
Clear one line.

Carbon is a design language for confidential records — the page is a typed file kept under seal, and the only colour is the single passage cleared for release.

The mechanic

Redaction is the layout. The highlight is the message.

Most of the record is struck out under solid ink bars — that is the grid. One passage is cleared and wears a single stamp-vermilion band. Hover a bar in the live file to declassify it; nothing else is ever coloured.

Principles

Three rules of the file.

[01]

Hide first.

Content defaults to sealed. The page is governed by what is withheld, not what is shown — severe emptiness, then one dense typed cluster.

[02]

One clearance.

Exactly one passage carries the vermilion highlight. The accent is a clearance, never decoration.

[03]

Type the record.

Every line is typewritten on a carbon copy; stencil stamps mark the chrome. The voice is the instrument.
