One Number

A single-metric story deck for making one number unforgettable, as a 16:9 presentation built from circles alone: a cover and a quoted voice set bare type over full-bleed hatched screen-print illustrations of ordinary scenes, vermillion dividers with one enormous hatched oxblood arc bleeding off the frame and growing crop by crop, honey-ochre narrative beats carrying a single centred sentence with a few dots in the margins, and pale-sand data beats where circles do the analytical work — a disc scaled to the value, a 100-dot tally reading a ratio, two dot clusters whose density shows a delta, a native donut, mini-donut shares. Every circle from margin dot to divider arc carries fine parallel hatching over grainy paper, so the deck reads as one hand-illustrated object system. Type is a sturdy low-contrast serif for numbers and one-line claims over a quiet geometric sans; no rules, boxes, icons or arrows anywhere. Imagery is flat hatched screen-print illustration of ordinary scenes, circle-cropped as plates or run edge to edge behind type. Copy is written as a readout someone would actually present: plain sentences, dated figures, a source line where a data card wants one.
