Figures before flourish
Every port line keeps hour, height, and margin note visible in one settled glance.
Morning reckoning for working harbours
High Water, Held Plain
The moon marks the measure
Phase glyphs anchor spring tides and slack water without shouting over the table.
Rules make reading steady
Hairline columns hold dense numbers apart while the sea-green field stays calm.
Notes stay in the margin
Parchment accents carry cautions, bearings, and revisions outside the main count.
