Princeton Folio — Humanities Block Quote
A graduate humanities seminar template anchored by a single centered block quotation — wide vertical margins, small-caps course code, and em-dash attribution enforce scholarly restraint over visual decoration.
This template exists for the room where the text is the argument. It refuses bullet points, gradient fills, and any layout element that competes with the primacy of the quoted passage. Designed for Socratic seminar settings where instructor and students read together from a projected handout, it treats body serif typography as the sole expressive instrument. The single oxblood accent on the course code is not decoration — it is a colophon, marking institutional context without editorial intrusion.
Good for
- · Graduate seminar close-reading sessions centered on a single passage
- · Critical theory or philosophy lectures projecting primary source excerpts
- · Courses requiring on-screen attribution with formal em-dash citation style
- · Instructors replicating the aesthetic of Princeton or Yale seminar handouts
Avoid for
- · Chart-heavy quantitative research presentations
- · Multi-point argument slides with nested bullet hierarchies
- · Brand launches or pitch decks requiring strong visual identity
- · STEM lectures where equations and figures must coexist with prose
