Steal · typographyNotes by Will
Drop uppercase completely: universal lowercase eliminates capital shift keys and sets a single democratic baseline for all communication.
Steal · grid/layoutNotes by Will
Anchor dynamic 45-degree diagonal typographic bands against rigid orthogonal horizontal rules to create asymmetric kinetic tension.
Steal · colorNotes by Will
Restrict color strictly to primary hues (cadmium red, cobalt blue, chrome yellow) placed as solid geometric anchors against warm raw paper.

Provenance & takedown

Publicly sourced references link to an original; private or concept examples are labelled separately. All referenced work belongs to its creators. What this vault adds — and what it is for — is the commentary: the steal-notes are the content, not the pixels. Notes are written by hand unless their card says otherwise; a model draft is always labelled. Study use only.

Made something shown here and want it removed? Email util.wills@gmail.com with the entry title or a link to this page — it comes down promptly, no questions asked.

Try it in your agent · no key

One command puts these notes inside Claude Code. Without a key the agent sees 5 families and gets 5 calls a day — enough to judge the taste before you rent it. The key opens every family and lifts the meter.
