Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses precise black linework on a white ground, combining natural subjects with spare geometric constructions, circles, grids, and architectural forms. Fine contours, crosshatching, and selectively dense textures create detailed illustrative scenes while large areas of negative space keep the compositions airy and diagrammatic.

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 .
