@definterface/title[style<%> ()]{

A @racket[style<%>] object encapsulates drawing information (font,
 color, alignment, etc.) in a hierarchical manner. A @racket[style<%>]
 object always exists within the context of a @racket[style-list%]
 object and is never created except by a @racket[style-list%] object.

See also @|stylediscuss|.
