A narrow reading column is the highest-value first move for this GEOFlow theme.
The reference page's strongest signal is not decorative styling. It is reading comfort: restrained chrome, compact metadata, and a prose shell that gives the article body room to breathe.
This preview treats GEOFlow's article detail page as the primary target. The page keeps the breadcrumb, category chip, title, publication date, summary, markdown-rendered body, tags, related articles, and sticky ad module. Only the visual treatment changes.
The new shell uses a warmer background, a narrower readable width, and thinner borders. Metadata is quieter. Headings carry the visual hierarchy. The result feels closer to an editorial publication than a content dashboard.
The template should be cloned as a reading system, not as a literal HTML copy.
What remains fixed
Routing, SEO metadata, structured data, markdown rendering, and all content/query contracts remain untouched. That boundary is what makes this direction safe for GEOFlow.
