Board-formed
Quivy, drawn with Nina's own professional eye: the interface as a cast concrete structure. Surfaces are monolithic slabs with visible board grain and tie holes, depth comes from hard cast shadows, and type is set like a drawing title block in Space Grotesk with JetBrains Mono for datums and references. Wherever the agent acts, a safety-yellow survey mark is set into the margin, the way a benchmark is set into a wall. The most severe direction in the set, warmed by material honesty: nothing is decorated, everything is placed.

You and Marco used to talk most weeks. It's been eight months.
He's in Cape Town 12 to 20 August, and three times suit you both. Want me to hold a table?
Nothing for you to do. The table holds until Thursday 17:00.

You don't eat shellfish.
Marco moved to Milan.
You prefer Thursday evenings.
Ana is a paediatrician.
Nothing leaves the box. No copies, no cloud, no one else's computer.
How much rope I get, per part of your life. Change it any time; I follow the mark.
The price is the price. No timers, no expiring discounts.
The box sits on a shelf, holds everything, and answers even when your phone is off.
Stays on this phone. A good way to try me.
Run me on a machine you already own. Same box, your concrete.
I can't hold Marrow from here. I can call them when they open at 09:00, or hold Pier 42 right now.
If Marrow can't take four on Thursday, I'll fall back to Pier 42 and tell you. Nothing books without your say.
