## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Create a black-and-white film noir title for [TEXT]. [TEXT] is set in tall, high-contrast serif display capitals on a dark plaster office wall. A single hard light outside a window throws slanted venetian-blind bars across the wall and the letters: crisp-edged, bright stripes separated by black, framed by the window outline. The light patch sweeps slowly sideways and back, as if a car passed in the street. Thin smoke wisps drift upward and glow only where they cross the light bars. In the foreground, rain on the window glass: small beads that refract the scene and a few drops that run down leaving trails. Deep blacks, silver highlights, film grain and vignette. Moody and slow; loop.
