Key Takeaways

  • Use object isolation as the hero device.
  • Let serif headlines feel sculptural and quiet rather than luxurious or ornate.
  • Use orange only where the user is asked to commit.
  • Show one product object per chapter.
  • Use macro detail crops to support technical proof.
  • Keep the object on white or black stages, not in mixed environments.

Overview

  • Use object isolation as the hero device.
  • Let serif headlines feel sculptural and quiet rather than luxurious or ornate.
  • Use orange only where the user is asked to commit.

Image Direction

  • Show one product object per chapter.
  • Use macro detail crops to support technical proof.
  • Keep the object on white or black stages, not in mixed environments.

Colors

  • Most surfaces should be white, soft gray, or black.
  • Orange is the only hot color and should stay rare.
  • Muted technical gray belongs to captions, tags, and secondary labels.

Typography

  • Headlines are crisp serif statements.
  • Body copy is neutral and technical.
  • Do not let the UI voice become playful or chatty.
