Art Style Type
This SREF style blends elements of black and white illustration and hand-drawn doodle aesthetics, with strong influences from independent comics and underground culture. It draws from traditional pen-and-ink techniques and printmaking art, while incorporating modern minimalist design principles. It belongs to these style categories because it uses simple black-and-white contrast to create powerful visual impact, with lines that are both free-flowing and precisely executed, combining handcraft warmth with contemporary sensibility.
Style Characteristics
The main characteristic of this SREF is its powerful yet minimalist black-and-white expression.

The compositions are clean and direct, without superfluous decorative elements, yet manage to convey rich emotions through clever use of negative space and precise linework. This style is impressive because of its purity — using the simplest tools to create the most direct visual language, feeling both retro and modern, both casual and refined.
