Les Dossiers / design case file
Forgotten Industries Typeface System
A design-evolution dossier for the archive voice system: ATLAS/SYSOUT as the public default, with author voice held behind explicit LE SAUVEGARDER invocation.
Dossier 008
Dossier first. Manual later.
Active Design dossier Specimen extracted
Decision state
This is not yet a manual because the rules are still emerging. The record preserves the artifact, names the split, and lets the system evolve across pages before hardening into procedural guidance.
Voice split
Default to system output.
-
ATLAS / SYSOUT
The public baseline: green system text, classification labels, route language, archive records, dossiers, posts, and generated output.
-
Space Mono
The active instrument face: IDs, timestamps, status, classification, file indexes, ATLAS output, and generated archive metadata.
-
IBM Plex Sans / Report Body
The long-form ATLAS/SYSOUT reading face: systems doctrine, generated report prose, and AI-assisted instrument records where Space Mono becomes too dense for paragraphs.
-
LE SAUVEGARDER
Reserved author mode: amber / MTM / human testimony styling appears only when Matthew explicitly invokes LE SAUVEGARDER authorship.
-
Historical Specimen
The original voice-split artifact remains preserved as evidence. It no longer defines the site-wide default.
Sequence
Preserve the artifact before declaring the rule.
-
01
Intake
Saved Claude artifact captured as raw intake, including wrapper HTML and local payload files.
-
02
Extraction
The rendered specimen payload was identified inside the nested saved resource.
-
03
Clean Specimen
A site-native specimen was created without the Claude shell, preserving the type decision itself.
-
04
Dossier
The type system is now tracked as an active design dossier under Les Dossiers and the archive records.
-
05
Implementation
Apply ATLAS/SYSOUT as the shared default across generated records, field logs, manuscripts, object pages, and public route copy.
-
06
Manual
Promote to a manual only when the rules become stable enough for repeatable production use.
Routes
Evidence first. Style guide after.
-
Source dossier
The source case file for the typeface system, source evidence, decision, and open questions.
-
Clean specimen
The extracted voice-split specimen as a standalone HTML artifact.
-
Color ledger
The named-color ledger used during the active palette study for the typeface and interface system.
-
Archive record
The generated archive view of the canonical `FI-PROJ-008` record from `src/data/projects.yml`.
-
Dossiers shelf
Return to the public index of active dossiers, rebuilds, object records, and continuity packets.
