Gutter
Leverages a symmetrical layout grid to structure blocks. Wide margins ensure high-fidelity reading focus across viewport transitions.

Design principles

Core behavioral guidelines to preserve the design language's integrity when scaling templates.

01
Organic structure

Keep shapes slightly rounded and use thin, delicate border rules.

02
High editorial voice

Use serif weights for large displays and italicize key highlight terms.

03
Subtle botanical tints

Avoid cold greys; all neutrals are warm-tinted with olive and forest greens.
