   NEVERBOUND — Cinematic Scroll Template
   Ignition Theory

   DESIGN TOKENS
   Palette drawn from the studio's own assets: lantern-lit dockside amber,
   the wordmark's engraved gold, Alice's violet silhouette, Red's blood rose.
   Type: Grenze Gotisch (engraved gothic display, echoes the logo letterforms)
       + Special Elite (stamped playbill label, echoes in-game "ROUND / TRAP"
         card UI) + Cormorant Garamond (storybook-page body serif).
   Signature motif: the chain link — breaks / unbinds as the page is
   descended, standing in for the game's own "never bound" premise.
