Bookplate
For the journal you mean to hand down. Rag paper on an oak desk, lamp-black ink and rubric red, a blackletter title and the day set as a penwork initial, inside a ruled frame. What you keep comes back as vine-bordered leaves, title pages and colophons with a printer's mark.

Give a year of Haumm →Drew the cabin again tonight, this time to scale. Twelve by sixteen, a porch facing east so the morning comes in first. The plan isn’t the cabin, but it’s the first part of it I can hold.
Not just the page.

The page stays quiet so you can write. The red and the ornament live in the rooms. This is the app itself: click through the rooms.
while you write
The theme steps back when you write.
Start typing and the menus fade, like they always have. The frame, the date and the little ornaments fade with them, to about a third. Paper, ink and your words stay. Stop, and the room comes back.
