Art style: Dark Comic.
A close-up shot looking at the interior of a hard hat. A hand in a grey work glove is pointing a finger at a small, circular embossed date marking on the plastic inner shell. The internal suspension webbing is visible around the edges. The lighting is focused and bright, making the tiny numbers and arrows of the date stamp legible. The colors are muted greys and blacks with the bright yellow of the helmet's outer shell visible at the edge.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
dark graphic-novel illustration — gritty comic book art style, heavy black inking, bold outlines, detailed cross-hatching and dramatic shading. Exaggerated character features, intense expressions, deep wrinkles, highly defined musculature. High contrast lighting. Desaturated grim background colors (grays, browns) with stark contrasting pop-color elements. Satirical and edgy atmosphere, masterpiece comic art.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
