# Design System: US Graphics catalogue

dense utilitarian catalogue: white/grey canvas, blue underlined masthead, Univers LT Pro Condensed-like headings, mono/data body rhythm, thin black rules, flat boxes, colour-chip palette strips, and almost-square corners. This DESIGN.md is a report-presentation brand preset for Markdown-first HTML previews and PDF deliverables.
