01 · Colour

The palette.

Four colours, used with discipline. Cream and ink do 90% of the work. Coral is the one shout. Lime is the occasional wink.

Cream (Background)
var: --background / --cream
oklch: oklch(0.965 0.018 88)
hex: #F5EEDD
tw: bg-background, bg-cream

Page background. Warm paper feel. Pair with ink text.

Ink (Foreground)
var: --foreground / --ink
oklch: oklch(0.18 0.012 250)
hex: #1A1F2E
tw: text-foreground, bg-foreground, bg-ink

Body text, headlines, primary buttons. Deep blue-black.

Pop (Coral)
var: --pop
oklch: oklch(0.72 0.19 38)
hex: #E8754A
tw: bg-pop, text-pop, [var(--color-pop)]

Accent only. CTAs, underlines, one emphasised word per heading. Do not flood.

Lime (Highlight)
var: --lime
oklch: oklch(0.86 0.18 118)
hex: #D6E84A
tw: bg-lime, text-lime, [var(--color-lime)]

Secondary highlight. Tags, pull-quotes, occasional background blocks.

02 · Typography

The fonts.

A loud display face, a soft script for personality, a refined serif for reading, and a workhorse sans for the UI. No Inter. No Poppins.

Caveat Brush

--font-display

Display headlines

Bold headlines that punch.

Caveat

--font-script

Script accents · handwriting

A handwritten little aside.

Fraunces

--font-serif

Body · long-form reading

Honest, readable paragraphs. Warm without being soft. Built for trust.

Nunito

--font-sans

UI · labels · tags · buttons

Buttons, navigation, form fields and small print.

03 · Motifs

Visual moves.

Pop underline

One word emphasised.

A coral bar painted behind a single keyword in a heading. Use once per heading, never on body text.

Pill tags

● Free QuoteLive in 7 daysFrom £500

Small all-caps pills used as section labels and credibility chips. Wide letter spacing, hairline border, transparent fill.

Grain & soft blobs

Soft, blurred coral and lime blobs add depth to hero sections. Pair with a subtle noise grain overlay for printed-paper feel.

Asymmetric layouts

Lean into off-centre grids and generous negative space. Avoid centred, evenly stacked SaaS sections.

04 · Voice

How it sounds.

Do

  • — Plain English. Short sentences.
  • — Concrete outcomes ("live in 7 days", "from £500").
  • — Honest, slightly self-deprecating, no hard sell.
  • — First person. It's Liam, not "the team".
  • — British spelling.

Don't

  • — "Unlock", "elevate", "synergy", "game-changer", "revolutionary".
  • — Generic SaaS purple gradients. Stock photos of handshakes.
  • — Robot imagery or glowing brains for AI content.
  • — Emojis inside headlines.
  • — Filler adjectives. If a word does nothing, cut it.
05 · Logo

The mark.

Rules

  • — Keep clear space around the mark equal to the height of one letter.
  • — Don't stretch, skew or rotate.
  • — Don't recolour. Ink on cream, or cream on ink. That's it.
  • — Minimum size: 64px tall on screen.
