Speckled Square
Five stops tuned to sit together without fighting — #7b002b ink anchors the set, #f38595 opens it up, and #ad334e, #cc5067, #d3697a cross the middle in a monochromatic arrangement. Speckled Square suits book covers that read at thumbnail size. The darkest and lightest stops clear AA as a text pair.
