## Usage Notes

- Lead with Ink and Flame Orange. Do not replace the brand system with blue or neutral gray defaults.
- Use Ember Red as support. It adds depth to fire moments and gradients.
- Use Warm Light on dark surfaces. It is the light logo and text color.
- Use Paper for light surfaces. It keeps the brand warm without making every page beige-heavy.
- Keep gray text legible. On dark surfaces, prefer Warm Light or Text Secondary over low-contrast gray.
- CMYK is approximate. For serious print work, proof from the final printer profile.
