Stencil & Tablet

Stencil & Tablet

Bone paper with stencil-cut headlines and a six-color earth palette: archaeology meets brand.

A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one.

Best for

Anything that should feel archival, tactile, and weighty-graphic: museum and cultural-institution decks, art / architecture brands, longform research, heritage and craft brands, manifestos. A great choice anytime — including across tech and business — when you want the deck to feel like a field manual rather than a slide deck.

Avoid for

Contexts that demand digital-native polish or playful pop — the stencil-cut display and earth-tone palette commit to a deliberate analog feel.

Workflow

1. Clone example.html AND the assets/ folder into the user's workspace. This template ships an assets/deck-stage.js runtime (keyboard navigation, stage rendering); the HTML references it as assets/deck-stage.js, so the file must sit next to the cloned HTML or that path will 404 in the generated artifact and navigation will silently break. Inlining the JS into a single <script> block in the HTML is an acceptable alternative when a single self-contained file is preferred.
2. Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
3. Preserve the design system. Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity.
4. Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts. If the user has more content
