Core Aesthetic
Tron-meets-Excalidraw - Digital warmth combining:
- •Hand-drawn Excalidraw-style sketch lines (NOT clean vectors)
- •Dark slate backgrounds for modern contrast
- •Neon orange (warmth) + cyan (tech) accents
- •Subtle glows on key elements

This is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH for all visual styling.
