Marshal

Documentary green and seal-red tones paired with IBM Plex Serif display headings, IBM Plex Sans body text, and IBM Plex Mono for code blocks. Rounded shapes with compact spacing and flat cards with bordered code blocks.

Why Use This Preset?

  • Documentary green palette with seal-red accents so repository-automation and stewardship-toolkit documentation projects an official, record-keeping authority.
  • IBM Plex Serif headings paired with IBM Plex Sans body text so the typography reads like a well-maintained ledger — structured, legible, and consistent.
  • Canopy navbar centers an IBM Plex Serif wordmark above the navigation on a sticky aged-paper bar, with a seal-red tint marking the active item, so the masthead reads like the header of an official document.
  • Commons footer carries a multi-column layout with sections, social links, and copyright so the document close feels deliberate and complete.
