   PRINCIPAL — a fifth direction for LP Evans, after royblack.com.
   The premise: a criminal defence firm is trusted through the person who
   runs the file, not through a decorated visual system. Restrained,
   monochrome throughout — no brass, no navy, no green — with one deliberate
   exception: the hero headline's gold, lifted from royblack.com's own hero.
