Urban Cartographer Red Monochrome Grid Editorial

Create a 16:9 editorial poster using a rigid Red Monochrome Editorial Grid visual system.

# Core Subject & Scene
{{subject-and-scene}}

# Text Elements
Main text (display): {{main-text}}
Secondary text (subtitle): {{secondary-text}}

# Visual System (LOCKED)
A confrontational editorial-poster structure built from monumental condensed sans-serif typography, red-and-black duotone photography, rigid off-white gutters, and paper-like ink grain. The design treats photographic crops and type blocks as equal grid modules rather than placing a single hero image behind type.

## Grid & Layout Rules
- Use a rigid modular poster grid separated by thick, imperfect off-white paper gutters (8–12px) that stay visible as structural lines dividing the composition
- Treat photo crops, black type fields, and red graphic fields as adjacent rectangular modules with hard boundaries—no overlapping layers
- Crop the subject aggressively into fragments: profile, shoulder, torso, hands with object, or silhouette—never a conventionally centered portrait
- Place text blocks in their own grid cells, not floating over photography

## Color & Texture
- Ink-black (#000000), saturated signal red (#E31E24), rough off-white paper (#F4F1E8)—no additional hues, no gradients
- Render all photography as coarse high-contrast red-and-black duotone with pronounced screenprint halftone dots, xerox grain, and ink speckle
- Apply visible paper texture and ink imperfections throughout

## Typography
- Monumental condensed sans-serif only (e.g., Impact, Bebas Neue, Knockout)
- All caps, tightly tracked, filling their grid cells
- Black type on off-white or red fields; off-white type on black fields
- No serif, script, thin weights, 3D extrusion, or crowded microcopy

## Forbidden Elements
No copied reference content, real logos, watermarks, QR codes, platform UI, full-color photography, blue/green/purple, smooth gradients, glossy lighting, sleek digital UI, distorted anatomy, or illegible text.
