Halation cinema

Deep film black + cream paper + warm halation bleed.

From the halation design — film stock at low light. The ground is a deep film-black (not pure black, slightly warm). Cream paper is the foreground for type. The red halation glow leaks around bright highlights; the orange is the light-leak version of the same colour. Use for portfolios with photography, or for any sheet that should feel late-evening and cinematic.
