# David — provisional Legendary frame and gilded text
|
||
|
||
This requested design pass retains David v03 and the selected curved mantle foreground while testing a bespoke frame, decorated title/verse backings, revised verse spacing and gilded divine pronouns. It is a provisional Normal composition, not a production printing.

## Presentation
|
||
|
||
The frame uses a narrow antique-gold perimeter, deep-lapis enamel line, restrained foliate edge work and four small gold corner studs. The upper-right title plaque is chamfered. The lower cream backing uses double rules, subtle line texture, central lozenge flourishes and small foliate details. All remain on the shared 2000 × 2800 canvas.
|
||
|
||
The verse retains P052 Medium at 80px but increases baseline spacing from the previous 85px to 94px. Its actual ink union is centered exactly between the upper flourish and the fixed reference line-box top: 42 master pixels on each side. The reference remains 57px. DAVID remains P052 Bold at 138px. All actual glyph pixels lie on opaque backing and have zero foreground intersections.
|
||
|
||
## Gilded pronouns
|
||
|
||
The capital `I` and both instances of `My` are separate SVG text runs in the same Medium face and size. Their gold gradient and dark outline are composed over the standard text position, so the wording, spacing and line breaks do not change. The separate transparent [gilded lettering layer](gilded-lettering-preview.svg) provides exact reusable alpha for a later gilding treatment.
|
||
|
||
This demonstrates that overlaid gilding is feasible. Its production material behavior is intentionally undecided: it may remain protected static gold ink, or its alpha may receive a reviewed metallic finish while other lettering remains protected. That choice needs a harness comparison before final mask assembly. No production finish, text, or gilding masks were generated here. No printings or harness fixtures were changed, and no GPU/moving-light review was performed.
