   It sits exactly where the font-rendered Hebrew line used to sit: a modest
   centred mark above the headline. It is deliberately NOT a full-bleed band —
   an earlier pass made it one and it swallowed the hero.

   The artwork is cropped tight to the letters and its edges are feathered with
   a mask so it reads as gold lettering on the dark, not as a pasted rectangle.
