Type and size

Mood title

  • Use a soft serif or rounded system sans at 34-48px, 650-800 weight, with generous line-height around 1.12.

Small labels

  • Use 13-16px labels, 600-750 weight, and avoid all-caps if the page should feel gentle.

Layout rules

Color ratio

  • Use a 70/20/8/2 ratio: cream dominates, blush or sage supports, dark green-gray anchors text, one tiny accent remains optional.

Spacing

  • Use 28-40px outer padding and 16-24px gaps. Let whitespace do more work than borders.

Build notes

  • Useful for journal templates, cafe menus, gentle product explainers, and lifestyle guide covers.
  • Always test contrast before using the muted colors for small text.

Replaceable parts

Palette roles

  • Base background
  • Soft block
  • Text color
  • Small accent

Avoid when

  • You need a loud sale poster.
  • The brand needs strong technical trust.
  • The contrast is too weak for small text.

Variants

  • Replace pink with muted blue for a cleaner study mood.
  • Use warmer brown for cafe menus.
  • Use more white for a portfolio page.

Usage notes

  • Check text contrast.
  • Do not use all colors at equal weight.
  • Let one color dominate.
