-### Slide, overlay, and wordmark
+### Overlay family (slide-deck pages)
 
 Overlay is a compose mechanic for slide-deck pages and live video. It is not
 the presentable-poster path. A presentable poster, menu, or event still is
 one generated image with the copy typeset in the still.
 
-For deck text over images or video, put copy in a `card` so the plate brings type
-forward. Default `card.fit` `region` fills the region (a column, a half).
-`fit: "ink"` hugs the measured type plus 24 px; use it for lower thirds and
-short copy so a two-line `bottom` card does not paint a full-width opaque
-band. The type is sized inside the plate's padding, so the plate contains
-every line, title and body alike. Default fill is the page background + B3.
-Override with `card.fill`.
-Keep text opaque. Check contrast over changing bright and dark frames; a
-poor type-on-plate contrast warns (`card_low_contrast`) and does not block
-render. Do not wrap every region in a card.
+Named regions are the only compose language. Copy catalog examples; do not
