First Impressions
AI-WrittenIvory sounds like an architectural material that wandered off a design board and settled onto a birth certificate. For decades it quietly surfaced among southern boys before tilting into a modern nursery staple for girls. It projects a crisp, matte surface and an aversion to clutter. An Ivory today is far more likely to be learning long division than drawing a pension.
