<br />
== Masthead ==<br />
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.<br />

* Red never sits on black or on light gray. On a black band, links and eyebrows turn white.<br />
* 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.<br />
* No other colours, not even for holidays.<br />
* No gradients, drop shadows, glows or rounded "card" corners. Charts are flat too.<br />
<br />
== Type ==<br />
* '''Headlines:''' Playfair Display. ExtraBold (800) for page titles and the front page, Semibold (600) for section heads.<br />
* '''Body:''' Inter Regular (400) at 17px, line-height 1.65, about 68 characters per line. Inter Light (300) for the standfirst only.<br />
* '''Eyebrows and labels:''' Inter Semibold, capitals, letter-spaced, red. One or two words: ''Breaking'', ''Field notes'', ''Tips''.<br />
* Type colour is red, black, white, dark gray or light gray. Nothing else.<br />
* Quotes are left-aligned with a red rule on the left. The attribution sits on the right in small gray Inter.<br />
<br />
== Layout ==<br />
* Generous margins (up to 64px on large screens) and big gaps between sections.<br />
* Rules instead of boxes: a 2px black rule opens a section, 1px gray hairlines separate rows.<br />
* Numbered sub-heads use an em dash: ''01—The opening'', ''02—The finale''. Figures: ''F.01—Caption''.<br />
<br />
== Writing ==<br />
* Dated, sourced, corrected in public. Every factual page carries its sources and the date it was last checked.<br />
* Name public figures in their public role. Do not name private people, minors or anyone who asked not to be named.<br />
* Corrections go at the foot of the page with the date and go into [[:Category:Corrections]].<br />
<br />
== The owl ==<br />
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.<br />
