The variety release

Data, Aligned

V3.7 gives every card more ways to fill the same grid: charts, numbers, and a cover that can open with an eyebrow.

Range, without breaking the system. The shape held; v3.7 just widened what can sit inside it.

The chart blocks were catalogued for a year. Now they actually render, in both paths, on the same gray ramp as everything else.

One bar goes full-ink: the family a card reaches for most.

How a chart stays on brand

Grayscale, single emphasis. A chart obeys the same rules as prose: every bar and line sits on the gray ramp, and exactly one element goes full-ink to carry the focus. No color, no second highlight.

Bottom line

More range, one grammar.

V3.7 adds charts, numbers, and a cover eyebrow without a single color or a broken grid. The system gets more expressive the same way it got quieter: by rule, on the ramp, one emphasis at a time.
