Identical content and compliance markers throughout; only the design point of view changes. Round one (01 to 05) worked from law-firm benchmarks. Round two (06 to 10) imports prestige mechanics from beyond law: the broadsheet, the auction house, the monograph, the documentary, the private bank's typography. Open each full-screen, give it the forty-second test, rank them. The winner gets the full four-template build.
01 The Law Report Set like a judgment: margin column with paragraph numbers, headnotes, citations as evidence, square brackets as the only interaction. The profession's own typography. Open 02 The Monolith Dark authority. One continuous ink field with a fixed vertical rail, monumental Fraunces to 120px, ghosted numerals, a single near-black image band. Vast and quiet. Open 03 The Gallery A museum catalogue of Singapore's built fabric. Matted plates with captions, Newsreader italics, a table-of-contents practice list with dotted leaders. Warm and literate. Open 04 The Precision Instrument Swiss grid made visible, Inter only, specification-sheet tables, oxblood indices, near-zero motion. The argument: precision with information is precision with your matter. Open 05 The Private Office Private-bank dusk: glass panels on a blue-black field, champagne keylines, one self-drawing contour line, staggered rises. The most contemporary of the five. Open 06 The Broadsheet The firm's paper of record: a true masthead with edition line, drop caps, column rules, a citations market-data box, a colophon. FT-grade typeset authority. Open 07 The Catalogue Auction-house rigor: every unit stamped with an eyebrow metadata line, practices as twelve lots, a provenance stack of citations. Documents, never advertises. Open 08 The Monograph Pawson and Aman: vast parchment, deliberately small type, one story at a time, zero accent colour. The nerve to hold silence is the design. Open 09 The Chronicle Snow Fall scrollytelling in pure CSS: the hero writes itself on, a pinned practices scene, chapter marks, a gold progress hairline. The documentary of a firm. Open 10 The Manifesto One typographic law with zero deviation: every heading lowercase, ending in a gold period. Charcoal, no images, ritual repetition. Severity as luxury. OpenSelection guide, round one: 01 most ownable to the profession; 02 most gravitas; 03 most humane; 04 most timeless; 05 sleekest. Round two: 06 most authoritative; 07 most evidentiary; 08 quietest luxury; 09 most impressive in motion; 10 most daring. All ten carry identical [TO CONFIRM] markers and pass the PCR wording rules. Hybrids welcome after ranking (e.g. 07's provenance stack inside 09's chapters, or 06's masthead over 08's silence).
