   A private monograph. Cinematic city hero with the portrait merged
   into the scene, editorial chapters with rail numerals and drop caps,
   photo interludes, a cream band with a gilt ledger card, a dark
   conviction band signed like a letter, and a correspondence spread
   modeled on the Vallarta "request a call" layout.
   Display: Cormorant Garamond.  Body: Newsreader.
   Gold is the only ornament. Everything else is light and shadow.
