The light is the layout.
Meridian doesn't bolt a dark mode onto a light page. The composition is authored in parallel: contrast, halo and accent each have a morning value and a midnight value, and the dial simply chooses which set is painted.
Meridian is a long-form journal whose every surface, line and accent is tuned twice — a warm paper morning and a deep midnight study. Flip the dial and watch a real composition cross-fade, not snap.
Below is a single editorial spread from Meridian. Toggle the dial in the header and every card here re-paints — the warm side and the cool side are designed to be equally worth reading.

“I kept the window open all night just to watch the same paragraph change its mind about the colour of evening.”
A theme isn't a filter. It's a second deliberate decision about every colour on the page.
Terracotta accent on a soft oat ground. Ink is a deep umber, not pure black — gentler on a bright surface.
Lantern amber on a near-black slate. Text settles to a warm bone white so the page glows instead of glaring.
Hit the sun-and-moon toggle in the header, then come back here — the entire page, including this card, eases into its other self. Both directions, every time.
