Vietnamese Stele Rubbing

A Vietnamese stele rubbing is a sheet of handmade paper pressed onto a carved stone stele and inked solid in lampblack, so the cut characters surface as ghost-white reversed glyphs. Pulled from the 82 doctoral steles of Hanoi's Temple of Literature, carved under the Lê and Mạc dynasties, it inverts stone into paper — the ground is the ink, the script is the light.

This system distills that inversion into an interface: an inky carbon ground with a faint warm cast, dense vertical columns of Hán seal and regular script glowing in paper-white, and a granular hand-rubbed texture that resists every crisp digital edge.

越南拓本（thác bản）是将手工纸覆于石碑之上、以松烟墨满拓而成的一张黑纸：刻入石中的文字反而以幽白阳文浮现，石与纸就此互换。它取自河内文庙的八十二通进士题名碑——黎、莫两朝所立，2010 年列入联合国教科文组织"世界记忆名录"。在这里，墨是底，字是光。

本设计系统将这种"反转"转化为界面语言：温润的炭黑底色透出拓纸的暖意，密排的汉字篆隶以纸白浮起成列，颗粒感的手拓肌理拒绝一切锐利的数字边缘。整体克制、肃穆、近乎单色，让文字本身成为唯一的发光体。
