Colors

Blueprint Canvas #111111

Page background, primary dark text, subtle borders — grounds the design in a deep, almost charcoal base

Parchment White #f5efeb

Primary light text, ghost button borders, accents within a darker canvas — suggests a tactile, natural paper texture

Amber Peach #f1b497

Orange outline accent for tags, dividers, and focused UI edges. Do not promote it to the primary CTA color

Do

  • Always use Blueprint Canvas (#111111) for page backgrounds and primary dark text.
  • Apply Parchment White (#f5efeb) for primary light text on dark backgrounds and for ghost button borders.
  • Reserve Amber Peach (#f1b497) for key accents, selected navigation highlights, and the primary 'Our Work' button fill.
  • Employ Roslindale (sub: Playfair Display) for large, expressive headlines (158px, weight 300, ls -0.0200em) to convey gravitas.
  • Utilize Alliance (sub: Inter) for all functional text, varying weights (400, 500, 600) and sizes (9px, 12px, 14px) as needed for hierarchy.
  • Implement an 80px border-radius for all interactive elements like buttons and navigation items to maintain a consistent soft, pill-like shape.
  • Maintain a compact spacing density, with an element gap of 8px and section vertical spacing of 53px.

Don't

  • Do not introduce bright, vibrant colors; maintain the muted, earthy palette of Blueprint Canvas, Parchment White, and Amber Peach.
  • Avoid sharp, angular corners; consistently apply the 80px border-radius for all applicable UI elements.
  • Do not use generic system fonts for display headings; Roslindale's unique character is central to the brand's sophisticated feel.
  • Avoid excessive use of elevation or heavy shadows; the system relies on subtle borders and color shifts for separation.
  • Do not deviate from the defined letter-spacing values for Alliance; precise tracking is essential for its compact appearance.
  • Do not use Parchment White (#f5efeb) on amber backgrounds due to insufficient contrast (1.6:1 ratio).
  • Avoid making any element overtly 'loud'; the design emphasizes understated luxury through subtle contrasts and refined details.
