Cold Frontier · Treatment Study

Same designs, two finishes.

The seven Cold Frontier showcase graphics, each drawn flat and dimensional — identical geometry, only the surface treatment changes. Same exact palette, same azure signal. Pick the finish and we'll render the full set in it.

Flat-rounded

Clean 2D. Palette tones only — no gradients, no depth, no shadow. Tighter rounded forms, round stroke ends. Quiet and precise.

Dimensional-rounded

The same drawing with a gentle slate gradient, soft depth, and a light glossy highlight. Still restrained — refined, never over-rendered.

The gate icons.

Diagnose, Design, Build, Measure. Each instrument plate, both ways — compare the flat finish against the dimensional one.

The workflow diagrams.

Filter, read, route — the three patterns AI handles well. Same three diagrams, both finishes, so the difference shows at diagram scale too.

Both finishes hold the Cold Frontier palette exactly — same surfaces, same soft whites, same single azure signal. The flat set reads quieter and more instrument-like; the dimensional set adds gentle depth and a glossy live node. Tell us which finish, and we'll render the whole set in it.
