## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a wide ornamental typography poster where a tiny gothic clown/doll character is peeking out from behind the central calligraphic letters, as if hidden inside the text.

Canvas: Horizontal 16:9 composition, approximately 1200×675 px, with a warm beige parchment background and no border.

Main typography: Use exactly 5 oversized black abstract Japanese-inspired calligraphic glyph clusters across the canvas, reading visually like decorative kanji/kana rather than clean readable type. Arrange them from left to right: 1 very large left glyph cluster, 1 thinner mid-left glyph cluster, 1 tallest central glyph cluster, 1 small floating comma-like glyph near the right center, and 1 very large right glyph cluster. Make the letterforms extremely elongated and architectural, with sharp serifs, sweeping curves, vertical stems, thin hairline connectors, and Art Nouveau / occult diagram details. Add ivory negative-space cuts inside the black strokes and restrained red accents on selected strokes.

Character detail: Place exactly 1 hidden figure behind the central glyph: a pale-faced anime gothic clown or porcelain doll with {hair_color}, red eyes, a small melancholy expression, and a black elaborate hat or headdress covered in tiny mechanical ornaments, beads, wires, pins, and floral debris. Only the upper body and part of a red outfit should be visible, mostly obscured by the tall central black letter strokes, so the character appears to be peeking from the text.

Ornamental elements: Add exactly 18 visible dangling bead-and-line ornaments distributed across the typography: 4 around the left glyph, 3 around the mid-left glyph, 5 around the central glyph, 1 under the small comma-like glyph, and 5 around the right glyph. These ornaments should include thin vertical rods, tiny black and cream circles, red circular beads, small diamond shapes, and miniature chain links. Also include 7 larger red accent circles total, placed on different glyphs and hanging ornaments.

Style: High-contrast black ink illustration with cream highlights and muted vermilion red accents, ultra-thin vector-like linework, elegant Japanese gothic calligraphy, poster design, surreal editorial art, crisp edges, flat background, minimal shadows, refined and intricate but not cluttered.

Text content: The typography may be unreadable or abstract, but it should evoke {display_text_concept}. Do not add Latin letters, captions, logos, signatures, or watermarks.

Constraints: Keep the beige background plain, preserve the wide empty breathing space between glyph clusters, make the hidden character small compared with the massive letters, and avoid photorealism; the final image should feel like an ornate black-red-cream typographic illustration.
