Best for
Anything that should feel like a hand-typeset ledger: user research synthesis, white papers, longform reports, academic and policy briefs, advisory deliverables, bilingual EN/CN reports. Equally good for tech, design, or brand decks that want their words to be the only thing on the page.
Avoid for
Decks that need visual personality or color-led storytelling — the all-ink palette is intentionally austere.
