Observations

Across all four renders, the style relies on stark black, white, and gray geometric forms arranged in dense, layered compositions. Hard-edged blocks, arcs, and vertical structures combine with distressed paper-like texture, visible scratches, and collage-like overlaps, producing an expressive graphic surface with strong contrast.

Earlier versions

Same code, different picture. Midjourney changed how it reads SREF codes after V6.1, so V8.2 turns this code into a new style. The old one still works: add  or .
