View source for Nightlife Report style guide

<div class="nr-eyebrow-wiki">House style</div>
<div class="nr-lede">One system across the blog, the forum, the front page and this wiki. Simple, flat, lots of white space.</div>

== Masthead ==
The masthead is always '''NIGHTLIFE REPORT''': capitals, Playfair Display, wide letter-spacing, black on white. Never redraw it, stretch it, outline it or set it in another colour.

* Red never sits on black or on light gray. On a black band, links and eyebrows turn white.
* Lemon <code>#D6D972</code>, pink <code>#F5BAC5</code> and blue <code>#24298F</code> are for charts and colour-coding only, never for type, the masthead or page chrome.
* No other colours, not even for holidays.
* No gradients, drop shadows, glows or rounded "card" corners. Charts are flat too.

== Type ==
* '''Headlines:''' Playfair Display. ExtraBold (800) for page titles and the front page, Semibold (600) for section heads.
* '''Body:''' Inter Regular (400) at 17px, line-height 1.65, about 68 characters per line. Inter Light (300) for the standfirst only.
* '''Eyebrows and labels:''' Inter Semibold, capitals, letter-spaced, red. One or two words: ''Breaking'', ''Field notes'', ''Tips''.
* Type colour is red, black, white, dark gray or light gray. Nothing else.
* Quotes are left-aligned with a red rule on the left. The attribution sits on the right in small gray Inter.

== Layout ==
* Generous margins (up to 64px on large screens) and big gaps between sections.
* Rules instead of boxes: a 2px black rule opens a section, 1px gray hairlines separate rows.
* Numbered sub-heads use an em dash: ''01—The opening'', ''02—The finale''. Figures: ''F.01—Caption''.

== Writing ==
* Dated, sourced, corrected in public. Every factual page carries its sources and the date it was last checked.
* Name public figures in their public role. Do not name private people, minors or anyone who asked not to be named.
* Corrections go at the foot of the page with the date and go into [[:Category:Corrections]].

== The owl ==
The owl mark appears beside the tips line in every footer. It is drawn in black lines with red eyes, on white. Don't add colour, shadows or a background shape.
