Steal · typographymodel draft
Two sizes of blackletter: the headline is roughly 2.5× the measure of the body text, both justified to the same left edge. The date and place sit in a smaller roman face below, creating a three-tier hierarchy without rules or ornaments.
Steal · grid/layoutmodel draft
The woodcut illustration sits directly above the text block with no caption or separator. The image width exactly matches the text measure, so the composition reads as a single vertical stack rather than two separate elements.

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.

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.
