"Midnight Cases" is a square cover for a noir mystery podcast. Weathered silver serif capitals and a spaced tagline sit over a rain-streaked city window, above a detective desk with a magnifying glass, a fingerprint card and a lamp.

Create a finished square podcast cover for “Midnight Cases,” composed as cinematic noir key art that remains legible at small thumbnail size. Lettering: set the exact headline “MIDNIGHT CASES” in two centered lines, “MIDNIGHT” above “CASES.” Use broad, monumental classical serif letterforms with generous width, bold visual weight, strong thick-thin contrast, deep V-cut wedge serifs, and clean angled terminals. Make the letters look photorealistically carved from pale charcoal limestone, with fine chisel marks, crisp cut edges, subtle stone grain, and directional light catching the serif facets. Keep the title the largest element with strong separation from the background. Build a complete noir podcast-cover scene behind and below the title: a rain-streaked city-window view at midnight, distant blurred streetlights, and a weathered case folder on a dark investigator’s desk with a metal magnifying glass partly over it. Add a small fingerprint evidence card and a single red thread as restrained case-file details. No readable writing on props. Use a deep blue-black and teal cinematic grade, cold underlighting, a narrow warm desk-lamp highlight on the folder, volumetric haze, and a restrained horizontal anamorphic lens flare. High-contrast photorealistic rendering, controlled shadow detail, subtle film grain, shallow edge vignette, clear foreground/background depth. Below the title, render the exact supporting line “THE TRUTH LEAVES A TRACE” in small, widely tracked uppercase lettering. Near the bottom edge, render “A NOIR MYSTERY PODCAST” as a compact, highly legible uppercase label. Keep these lines distinct and correctly spelled; do not add any other legible text, logos, or lettering. Centered poster hierarchy: title occupies the upper-middle area, the case-folder scene anchors the lower middle, supporting line beneath the title, small format label at the bottom with safe margins.
