Mayan Dresden Codex

The Dresden Codex is one of only four surviving pre-Columbian Mayan manuscripts — a 39-page bark-paper-and-stucco accordion-fold painted by Yucatec priest-scribes around 1200 CE, mapping Venus cycles, eclipse predictions, and ritual ceremonies. The visual system is severe and exact: cream bark-paper ground, deep iron-red and carbon-black hand-painted glyphs, horizontal narrative registers, profile deities, and a bar-and-dot number system.

This design language carries that trichrome discipline into the screen. Cream surface, red and black ornament, horizontal register bands, lapidary Roman caps for headings, Garamond serif for body — handled with the cultural gravity these sacred astronomical texts deserve.

德累斯顿玛雅古抄本是仅存的四部前哥伦布时期玛雅手稿之一，由尤卡坦玛雅祭司在公元 1200 年左右绘于树皮纸与石灰浆之上，共三十九页，折叠成手风琴式长卷，记录金星与火星运行周期、日月食推算、农耕历法与祭祀仪轨。视觉系统极为克制：奶米色树皮纸为底，深铁红与碳黑两色手绘象形与图像文字，配以横向叙事条带、侧面神祇人物，以及一套独特的"点—横"玛雅数字。

这套设计语言把那份三色秩序带进屏幕。奶米色为页面底，铁红与碳黑作纹饰，横向条带承担信息节奏，标题取罗马碑刻体的庄重感，正文取 Garamond 衬线的书卷气。玛雅古抄本是神圣的天文与仪式文本，我们带着对中美洲玛雅文化复兴运动的敬意来使用它。
