Specimen Headline: The Article Layout Demonstrated in Full

SPECIMEN SECTION — LAYOUT DEMONSTRATION ONLY

This specimen demonstrates the feature article layout at editorial reading measure — approximately 68 characters per line — set in Source Serif 4 at 1.1875rem with 1.62 line-height. The Libre Caslon dropcap initial in brass opens the article as the design system specifies. This text is a typographic placeholder only.

The second body paragraph demonstrates the secondary type scale in ink-muted tone, showing the reading rhythm of multi-paragraph editorial content. Inline typographic emphasis and link treatments appear within the measure as the design system specifies. This is a layout specimen — not content.

A third paragraph further demonstrates the reading rhythm at full article length. Warm cream newsprint and near-black letterpress ink create the broadsheet reading environment. Rules and paper tone — not shadows — define the visual depth per the DESIGN.md specification.
