About Clockpunk (da Vinci)
Clockpunk renders Renaissance speculative technology in the da-Vinci mode: brass clockwork, gears, and orrery rings drawn as engraved sepia line-art across a weathered walnut-brown notebook page. The ground is aged vellum darkened by walnut ink over centuries — wood, brass, and bronze throughout, never light cream parchment.
The aesthetic borrows the visual grammar of Leonardo's codices: mirror-script margins, hatched ink shading, Vitruvian geometric overlays, and exploded mechanical diagrams. Period serifs and antique gold complete an engraved, contemplative interface where every panel reads like a folio of inventions.
