Key Takeaways

  • Build a selective studio shell where type, spacing, and media carry most of the brand weight.
  • Keep interfaces visually quiet so case-study imagery or hero moments stay primary.
  • Let one accent or one tonal inversion punctuate the flow instead of decorating every module.
  • Favor hero imagery or portfolio frames that feel art-directed rather than stock-driven.
  • Use bold crops, asymmetric composition, or isolated objects before adding ornamental UI chrome.
  • Base the shell on DDDAD6 and keep 111111 as the primary reading color.

Overview

  • Build a selective studio shell where type, spacing, and media carry most of the brand weight.
  • Keep interfaces visually quiet so case-study imagery or hero moments stay primary.
  • Let one accent or one tonal inversion punctuate the flow instead of decorating every module.

Image Direction

  • Favor hero imagery or portfolio frames that feel art-directed rather than stock-driven.
  • Use bold crops, asymmetric composition, or isolated objects before adding ornamental UI chrome.

Colors

  • Base the shell on DDDAD6 and keep 111111 as the primary reading color.
  • Use 111111 as the main emphasis color and keep it scarce enough to preserve hierarchy.
  • Let E6E2DC and CFC9C0 separate secondary surfaces without introducing noisy ornament.

Typography

  • Use Space Grotesk as the display voice. It should read as assertive display sans.
  • Use Inter for body copy, controls, and supporting metadata.
  • Let scale and spacing create emphasis before adding extra font families or decorative effects.

Layout Principles

Alternate spacious editorial sections with a few denser proof modules.
Treat navigation as a thin strip, not a boxed dashboard control surface.
Use wide image blocks and controlled typographic contrast instead of busy grids.

Anti Patterns

Compact list of patterns the design system explicitly avoids.

  • -
    Do not promote default browser blue links into the canonical palette.
  • -
    Do not treat low-confidence DOM wrappers as polished component evidence.
  • -
    Do not add extra accent colors that were not visually supported by the source.
