Do / Don't

Reference it for

  • Warm ivory page canvas (#faf9f5) instead of pure white, so the whole site reads as paper stock rather than a screen
  • Literary serif for headlines (Anthropic Serif here; sub any humanist book-weight serif) paired with a neutral humanist sans for body and nav
  • Near-black ink text (#141413) rather than true black, holding the warm-paper feel even in the type
  • Shadowless elevation: define every card and frame with a 1px linen border (#dedcd1) plus a background shift between ivory, white (#ffffff) and parchment (#f0eee6)
  • Gently rounded geometry on a tight radius (about 10px on nav/inputs/buttons, 16px cards, 24-32px hero panels)
  • Centred editorial section headers (Frequently asked questions, Explore plans) set large in the serif, generous whitespace above and below
  • Border-only FAQ rows with a plain + glyph affordance, no fills or chevrons
  • Pill segmented toggle (Individual / Team and Enterprise) with a soft white active chip on a parchment track
