    "[CORE] The central visual trick is a human body constructed from irregular black hand-lettered words. Remove the photographic torso and upper garment and replace that area with background-colored negative space filled by letters; the collective outer edges of the letters create the silhouette. It must not look like text printed on a white shirt, a rectangular sign, or a tattoo.",
    "[CORE] Keep the head, exposed arms, hands and lower legs photographic and anatomically connected to the letter-built silhouette, so the figure remains one coherent person.",
    "[CORE] Body lettering is slender, elongated, single-stroke black felt-tip handwriting, NOT bold brush lettering or a heavy display font. Stroke width roughly one fifteenth of letter height. Narrow irregular uppercase glyphs, varying heights and gently wavering baselines fit the body volume. Air between strokes is essential, every word legible.",
    "[CORE] A pale gray-white seamless photographic ground with generous quiet negative space supports almost-black ink and very limited muted crimson accents; no rich scene or colorful graphic backdrop.",
    "[CORE] A SMALL compact block of extra-bold wide uppercase sans-serif headline contrasts with the slender body handwriting. Keep headline clearly secondary to the figure, roughly a quarter of canvas width, with a short small crimson handwritten subline.",
    "[FLEX] Shape word rows to express the case action: stretch, slope, compression or rhythm; choose emphasis words and row arrangement freely without changing exact wording.",
    "[FLEX] Position the compact headline and figure for the aspect ratio and gesture, rather than always reproducing the source upper-left title and upright central body.",
    "[FLEX] One spare red underline, circle or short stroke may focus the headline or action; red also appears in one small practical subject detail. Keep accents sparse."

    "observed": "Pale tall poster; small heavy headline upper left with red rough circle; huge photographic athlete at center-right; torso and shorts replaced by pale letter-filled negative silhouette; real head and limbs; minimal red footwear and football; small supporting information.",
    "transfer": "Keep typographic anatomy, editorial hierarchy, sparse gray-white photographic treatment and red ink. Replace person, profession, pose and campaign copy. Schedule and sponsor footer are source content, not a requirement."

  "typography": {
    "headline": "Small compact extra-bold wide grotesk, no tall condensed giant headline; visually secondary to figure.",
    "body": "Slender elongated single-stroke hand lettering; approximate stroke width 1/15 letter height, open internal spaces, irregular baselines; outer glyphs imply anatomy without a continuous white garment edge.",

  "image_treatment": {
    "texture": "Fine restrained photographic grain across pale ground and exposed photographic skin, with natural soft cutout edges; marker strokes have tiny organic edge irregularity. No grunge damage, halftone, fake paper tears or added blur.",
    "lighting": "Broad soft studio key, believable limb shading and faint grounding shadows; modest contrast, no glossy CGI finish."

  "design_rules": [
    "Construct anatomical silhouette with letters themselves, no fabric seams or shading under the words.",
    "Keep all supplied copy exact and use no extra words.",
    "Maintain one plausible connected body, with hands and feet distinct from letter strokes.",
    "Let posture influence word geometry and adapt both ratios deliberately.",
    "Use only necessary case props and keep facial detail, hands and text unobstructed."

  "do": [
    "Use body-shaped negative space as the lettering field.",
    "Vary word scale according to meaning and pose.",
    "Keep headline compact and use open pale margins."

  "avoid": [
    "No slogan T-shirt or rectangular text panel over a person.",
    "No football content, source identity or copied source text.",

  "prompt_template": "Create one finished editorial campaign poster, aspect ratio {ASPECT_RATIO}. Prioritized visual system:\n{STYLE_FIDELITY_ANCHORS}\nPhotographic subject and pose: {SUBJECT}\nCompact block headline, verbatim: \"{MAIN_TEXT}\".\nWords building the body silhouette, verbatim in this reading order: \"{BODY_TEXT}\".\nSmall red handwritten supporting line, verbatim: \"{SECONDARY_TEXT}\".\nArt direction: {DESIGN_DIRECTION}\nSource content exclusions: {SOURCE_CONTENT_TO_AVOID}\nThe letters replace the torso rather than sitting on a photographed garment: no shirt seams, no fabric, no border or solid backing panel under them. Pale gaps between letters match the surrounding background. Facial anatomy, hands and feet remain photographic and coherent. Fine restrained photographic grain, natural skin, soft diffuse studio light, faint grounding shadow; slight organic marker edges. Keep every word readable. Borderless poster, no mockup, no additional copy.\nCritical execution: body words must be THIN, LONG, LOOSE HANDWRITING with open spaces, not solid fat black letter blocks. The ghost torso is the SAME gray-white photographic background visible between and outside letters, with no white fabric perimeter. Let outer letters taper and stagger individually. Preserve a coherent figurative collage, not a visibly cut-out white bodysuit. Keep a small compact headline and broad quiet margins; the person need not fill the entire frame.",
  "negative_prompt": "No football, no source slogan or names, no brands or logos, no white slogan shirt, no rectangular text sticker, no torso photograph underneath letters, no colored torso panel, no random letters or repeated copy, no extra limbs, no dismemberment, no busy background, no large red shapes, no tiny fake legal text. No heavy brush body lettering, no solid white clothing silhouette, no giant condensed headline, no dirty grunge floor.",

Keep a pale gap between forearms and body so the hands and process remain readable. Portrait: low seated figure with compact headline above and to left, generous right-side breathing room. Landscape: figure on right leans inward toward wheel in center, headline on far left; rounded letter contours echo clay without becoming a decorative pot-shaped text blob."
