Computer Modern — Theorem & Definition Scaffold
A LaTeX-faithful lecture canvas for math-heavy content: a thin royal-blue-ruled definition box at top, italic serif theorem statement, and parenthesized numbered proof steps — every glyph set in Computer Modern, exactly as the TeX tradition demands.
This template exists to remove every layer of decoration between a mathematician's reasoning and an audience's comprehension. It borrows its authority wholesale from half a century of LaTeX typesetting convention, refusing gradients, icon sets, and the rounded-corner visual vocabulary of modern slide builders. The speaker's credibility lives entirely in the rigour of the content; the design is structurally invisible. It is for chalkboard-and-projector rooms where the theorem is the event and the proof is the performance.
Good for
- · Graduate-level mathematics and linear algebra lectures
- · MIT OCW-style open courseware slide exports
- · Conference talks built around theorem-proof-corollary structure
- · Courses where audience LaTeX fluency sets typographic expectations
Avoid for
- · Marketing or brand-forward executive presentations
- · Talks relying on photographic backdrops or icon-driven storytelling
- · Chart-heavy quarterly business reviews with dense data visualizations
- · Audiences unfamiliar with academic notation and proof conventions

Casebook Ivory — Bluebook Holding Statement
A law-journal slide structured around a Bluebook citation header and bold-serif holding statement, with numbered argument paragraphs, superscript footnote markers, and a hairline-ruled footnote block that mirrors the typographic discipline of a printed Harvard Law Review page.
Grand Rounds Dossier — Clinical Case Two-Pane
A journal-formatted grand-rounds slide dividing patient history from diagnostic imaging in a strict two-column layout, with a numbered differential list and a JAMA-style case header. Built for radiology and internal-medicine rounds where clinical evidence must live beside narrative without competing.
Manuscript Grid — NeurIPS Two-Column Folio
A LaTeX-faithful two-column slide modelled on NeurIPS and ICML paper conventions, with justified serif body, centred numbered equations, and an inset results figure — the only ML-result template that treats typographic protocol as a design feature, not a constraint.
