Plate XII
Old Town · Landmark
Gediminas’ Tower
The last brick crown of the upper castle, watching over the confluence since the 14th century.
An old map redrawn for new wanderers — baroque courtyards, amber light on the Neris, and a hundred doorways waiting to be opened.
Usage — Ink carries all structure and type. Parchment & vellum hold the page. Amber is the single warm protagonist; Baltic is the cool counterweight for figures and rare CTAs. Sealing wax red is reserved for alerts and seals only — never decorative.
Behaviour — buttons lift up-left on hover, casting a hard ink shadow — like a stamp pressed and released. No soft glows; everything sits on the page as engraved plates.

A bohemian quarter with its own constitution, angel, and a river slow enough to dream in.
Baltic gold pressed into rings and pendants, sold from the stalls along the Town Hall square.
“I came for a weekend with a paper map and left with amber in my pocket and the whole Old Town memorised by light.”
Marks — all icons drawn on a single 1.4px stroke weight, no fills, echoing copperplate engraving. They live inside ruled cells like figures on a survey sheet.
Measure — spacing follows an engraver's progression — 6, 12, 24, 40, 64, 104 — roughly 1.6× growth, the same ratio that governs the type scale.
