rules

composition

Compose every screen as a broadsheet zine spread: an open masthead band across the header, column rules between articles, folio numbers on section rules, drop-cap standfirsts, pull-quotes, and a printed ledger for metrics — never a boxed terminal console.

hierarchy

Hierarchy comes from the misregistered green plate, scale of the Anton display, serif body weight, mono folios, and inked plates — never from large colourful cards or HUD chrome.

density

Medium-high editorial density; every cluster aligns to the column grid with clean rules and readable 17px serif body text.

signature

The misregistered green plate: a phosphor-green duplicate of each focal element (headline, number, primary button, chart bar, focused input) offset a uniform 2.5px south-east behind the black, set with multiply on paper or screen on ink, so the slip reads as a real second printing pass, never a CSS drop shadow.

grid

Broadsheet column-rule grid: an open masthead, an asymmetric lead (wide article + side plate card), 3-column article body with column rules, a 4-cell printed ledger, and two-up plate/quote and form bands.

whitespace

Editorial and measured: column gutters of 30-34px, 1px paper rules between articles, 3px ink rules on mastheads, generous padding above every title.

density

responsive

Collapses cleanly to one stacked column on mobile with the masthead, column rules and ledgers preserved; nothing overflows horizontally; the full-bleed hero cover spans 100vw.

desktop: >= 1024px
ultrawide: >= 1320px capped/centred

guidance

Land one green plate 2.5mm off the black on every focal element — headline, number, button, chart bar, focused input.
Keep the green a single spot ink used like a second printing pass; reserve amber for a drifting plate and vermilion for a voided sheet.
Set body in the Spectral serif so the editorial voice stays warm; let Archivo carry labels and Spline Sans Mono run folios and registration marks.
Build depth from a 55lpi halftone dot field and the offset double; keep reading zones crisp and uncovered.

avoid

Do not read the brief as a dark CRT terminal or dashboard — this is a printed sheet on bone paper.
Do not introduce a third accent, a gradient, or a glossy glow; the green is ink, not light.
Do not round corners, float soft cards, nest cards, or use drop shadows as the main depth device.
Do not box the masthead or nav into a floating pill, and never use a unicode symbol glyph where an SVG belongs.

## Philosophy

A two-plate riso-print interface language: bone paper and sumi black, re-lit by one phosphor green spot ink landed a measured 2.5mm off register on purpose — so a luminous green ghost trails every contour and you read the slip before you read the word.

### Values

- a two-color print fault, the misregistered green plate, owned as the entire identity
- green is spot ink on a drum, not a screen beam — it multiplies into the paper and never floats
- depth is a 55-line halftone and the offset double, never a soft drop shadow
- an editorial voice: grotesque masthead, warm serif body, teletype mono only for folios and registration marks
- the slip does the work that glow and gradients fake, at no cost but discipline

### Anti-Values

- a CRT terminal console or dark dashboard read of a hacker zine
- rainbow gradients, neon glow, or a green used as light rather than ink
- rounded friendly cards, soft drop shadows, or a third accent colour
- monospace-everything that loses the editorial warmth of a printed sheet

## Guidance

### Do

- Land one green plate 2.5mm off the black on every focal element — headline, number, button, chart bar, focused input.
- Keep the green a single spot ink used like a second printing pass; reserve amber for a drifting plate and vermilion for a voided sheet.
- Set body in the Spectral serif so the editorial voice stays warm; let Archivo carry labels and Spline Sans Mono run folios and registration marks.
- Build depth from a 55lpi halftone dot field and the offset double; keep reading zones crisp and uncovered.

### Don't

- Do not read the brief as a dark CRT terminal or dashboard — this is a printed sheet on bone paper.
- Do not introduce a third accent, a gradient, or a glossy glow; the green is ink, not light.
- Do not round corners, float soft cards, nest cards, or use drop shadows as the main depth device.
- Do not box the masthead or nav into a floating pill, and never use a unicode symbol glyph where an SVG belongs.

### Accessibility

High contrast throughout (sumi text on bone paper; bone text on sumi plates). The halftone and scanline overlays are pointer-events:none and never reduce text contrast. The misregistered ghost sits behind text and never competes with the reading layer. Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion; the settled page renders with no JavaScript.

## Imagery Direction

### Pairs With

phosphor-press

### Summary

Photocopied two-plate riso plates: bone-white paper, dense sumi ink, manga halftone screentone, re-lit by one phosphor-green spot ink that lands deliberately off register so a green ghost-double slips off every black edge. Printer crop marks and registration targets in the corners.

### Subjects

- a hand-cranked risograph drum and ink-stained hands
- a registration target and crop marks on a printed sheet
- a stack of pulled zine sheets with green ghost edges
- a composing stick / press furniture
- a halftone-screened portrait used as a manga plate

### Usage

One full-bleed riso cover plate for the landing hero, composed with a sumi overlay zone for the masthead; inked-plate panels and halftone fields elsewhere. End every prompt with NO text, NO letters, NO logos.

# Misregister

## Overview

A two-plate riso-print interface language: bone paper and sumi black, re-lit by one phosphor green spot ink landed a measured 2.5mm off register on purpose — so a luminous green ghost trails every contour and you read the slip before you read the word.

### Values

- a two-color print fault, the misregistered green plate, owned as the entire identity
- green is spot ink on a drum, not a screen beam — it multiplies into the paper and never floats
- depth is a 55-line halftone and the offset double, never a soft drop shadow
- an editorial voice: grotesque masthead, warm serif body, teletype mono only for folios and registration marks
- the slip does the work that glow and gradients fake, at no cost but discipline

### Anti-Values

- a CRT terminal console or dark dashboard read of a hacker zine
- rainbow gradients, neon glow, or a green used as light rather than ink
- rounded friendly cards, soft drop shadows, or a third accent colour
- monospace-everything that loses the editorial warmth of a printed sheet

### Grid

Broadsheet column-rule grid: an open masthead, an asymmetric lead (wide article + side plate card), 3-column article body with column rules, a 4-cell printed ledger, and two-up plate/quote and form bands.

### Whitespace

Editorial and measured: column gutters of 30-34px, 1px paper rules between articles, 3px ink rules on mastheads, generous padding above every title.

### Density

medium-high

### Responsive

Collapses cleanly to one stacked column on mobile with the masthead, column rules and ledgers preserved; nothing overflows horizontally; the full-bleed hero cover spans 100vw.

### Breakpoints

- **Mobile**: < 720px
- **Tablet**: 720-1024px
- **Desktop**: >= 1024px
- **Ultrawide**: >= 1320px capped/centred

### Shadows

- **Plate**: 2.5px 2.5px 0 #13130f
- **Sm**: 2.5px 2.5px 0 rgba(19,19,15,0.9)
- **Screen**: no soft shadows — depth is the offset block plus a 55lpi halftone dot field

## Shapes

### Rounded

- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `0px`
- **Md**: `0px`
- **Lg**: `0px`
- **Full**: `9999px`

### Surfaces

- **Bg Pattern**: Bone paper with a faint halftone tooth and a barely-there print scanline; no muddy washes, no gradients.
- **Card Style**: Flat bone or stock surfaces with a 1px sumi border and hard corners; inked-plate variant flips to sumi-black with a halftone dot overlay; never nested, never an accent edge.
- **Treatment**: Every focal element carries a green spot-ink duplicate offset 2.5px south-east behind the black (multiply on paper, screen on ink) — the misregistration mechanic.

### Borders

- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Accent Width**: 3px
- **Style**: solid
- **Character**: Sumi rules; 1px on containers, 3px on masthead bands; the accent is never a border edge but a misregistered green plate behind the element.

## Components

### Composition

Compose every screen as a broadsheet zine spread: an open masthead band across the header, column rules between articles, folio numbers on section rules, drop-cap standfirsts, pull-quotes, and a printed ledger for metrics — never a boxed terminal console.

### Hierarchy

Hierarchy comes from the misregistered green plate, scale of the Anton display, serif body weight, mono folios, and inked plates — never from large colourful cards or HUD chrome.

### Density

Medium-high editorial density; every cluster aligns to the column grid with clean rules and readable 17px serif body text.

### Signature

The misregistered green plate: a phosphor-green duplicate of each focal element (headline, number, primary button, chart bar, focused input) offset a uniform 2.5px south-east behind the black, set with multiply on paper or screen on ink, so the slip reads as a real second printing pass, never a CSS drop shadow.

## shadcn/ui Usage

When the target app uses shadcn/ui, copy DESIGN.md with shadcn instead of the plain DESIGN.md. It contains the same Katagami design-language source plus the shadcn/ui primitives, imports, theme variables, component recipes, and preview-shot guidance.

DESIGN.md with shadcn: `/language/en-019ef82c-b49b-7dc1-a531-a365b8eb77a1/DESIGN.with-shadcn.md`.

The shadcn page also exposes optional machine-readable files for automation, but the human-facing handoff is DESIGN.md with shadcn.

Install recommended primitives with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.

Use these primitives in shadcn apps:
- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table

Implementation rule for agents: import shadcn primitives from `@/components/ui/*`, apply the generated CSS variables first, then compose the language-specific recipes from the companion MD. Katagami remains the source of truth; shadcn names are the implementation surface.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do Land one green plate 2.5mm off the black on every focal element — headline, number, button, chart bar, focused input.
- Do Keep the green a single spot ink used like a second printing pass; reserve amber for a drifting plate and vermilion for a voided sheet.
- Do Set body in the Spectral serif so the editorial voice stays warm; let Archivo carry labels and Spline Sans Mono run folios and registration marks.
- Do Build depth from a 55lpi halftone dot field and the offset double; keep reading zones crisp and uncovered.
- Don't Do not read the brief as a dark CRT terminal or dashboard — this is a printed sheet on bone paper.
- Don't Do not introduce a third accent, a gradient, or a glossy glow; the green is ink, not light.
- Don't Do not round corners, float soft cards, nest cards, or use drop shadows as the main depth device.
- Don't Do not box the masthead or nav into a floating pill, and never use a unicode symbol glyph where an SVG belongs.

### Accessibility

High contrast throughout (sumi text on bone paper; bone text on sumi plates). The halftone and scanline overlays are pointer-events:none and never reduce text contrast. The misregistered ghost sits behind text and never competes with the reading layer. Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion; the settled page renders with no JavaScript.

## Imagery Direction

### Pairs With

### Summary

Photocopied two-plate riso plates: bone-white paper, dense sumi ink, manga halftone screentone, re-lit by one phosphor-green spot ink that lands deliberately off register so a green ghost-double slips off every black edge. Printer crop marks and registration targets in the corners.

### Subjects

- a hand-cranked risograph drum and ink-stained hands
- a registration target and crop marks on a printed sheet
- a stack of pulled zine sheets with green ghost edges
- a composing stick / press furniture
- a halftone-screened portrait used as a manga plate

### Usage

One full-bleed riso cover plate for the landing hero, composed with a sumi overlay zone for the masthead; inked-plate panels and halftone fields elsewhere. End every prompt with NO text, NO letters, NO logos.

# Misregister shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019ef82c-b49b-7dc1-a531-a365b8eb77a1`
Slug: `misregister`

## Intent

A two-plate riso-print interface language: bone paper and sumi black, re-lit by one phosphor green spot ink landed a measured 2.5mm off register on purpose — so a luminous green ghost trails every contour and you read the slip before you read the word.

## Required primitives

- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table

Install with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.

}

## Visual character to preserve

- Make the source language's structural identity visible in every component state.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": true,
  "stickerBadges": false,
  "motion": "still",
  "density": "balanced",
  "accents": [
    "primary",
    "accent",
    "secondary",
    "muted"
  ]
}

## Signature component recipes

### Button
Use `Button` for primary, secondary, outline, and ghost actions. Primary actions must expose the language's strongest contrast pair, while secondary and ghost actions should preserve the surface treatment instead of falling back to default neutral SaaS styling.

### Card
Use `Card`, `CardHeader`, `CardContent`, `CardFooter`, and `CardAction` as the main composition frame. Cards should demonstrate the language's surface, border, hierarchy, and density rules rather than appearing as generic rounded rectangles.

### Input and Textarea
Use `Input` and `Textarea` with visible focus rings, field labels, validation states, and the language's rhythm. Forms should show real product content, not placeholder-only controls.

### Select, Tabs, and Table
Use `Select`, `Tabs`, and `Table` to prove navigation, filtering, and dense data states. The table should show row rhythm, separators, hover/focus states, and an empty or status state when the language calls for it.

### Dialog and Sheet
Use `Dialog` for centered decisions and `Sheet` for contextual editing. Both should inherit the language's spacing, border, overlay, and motion rules.

## Preview shots

- `application-shell`: dashboard or workspace shell with navigation, cards, forms, and state badges.
- `detail-editor`: focused editing flow using input, textarea, select, switch/checkbox, dialog or sheet, and action buttons.
- `data-operations`: table-heavy operational view with tabs, dropdown menu affordances, badges, and destructive/empty states.
- Each preview shot must include a renderable `scene` payload with concrete headline, description, actions, and rows/fields/stats for the UI preview.

## Implementation contract

- Start from local `ui/src/components/ui` shadcn-style primitives; do not create a second component system.
- Apply `/katagami/shadcn/misregister/registry-theme.json` variables, then use these recipes for composition and state design.
- Preserve Katagami token names as source metadata; shadcn semantic names are only the export surface.
- Do: Land one green plate 2.5mm off the black on every focal element — headline, number, button, chart bar, focused input.; Keep the green a single spot ink used like a second printing pass; reserve amber for a drifting plate and vermilion for a voided sheet.; Set body in the Spectral serif so the editorial voice stays warm; let Archivo carry labels and Spline Sans Mono run folios and registration marks.; Build depth from a 55lpi halftone dot field and the offset double; keep reading zones crisp and uncovered.
- Do not: Do not read the brief as a dark CRT terminal or dashboard — this is a printed sheet on bone paper.; Do not introduce a third accent, a gradient, or a glossy glow; the green is ink, not light.; Do not round corners, float soft cards, nest cards, or use drop shadows as the main depth device.; Do not box the masthead or nav into a floating pill, and never use a unicode symbol glyph where an SVG belongs.
