> Quiet paper notebook with one vivid ink stamp

Pastel is a quiet, paper-warm canvas interrupted by one vivid blue stamp. The interface is nearly monochrome — deep near-black text on a stone-white background, with cool gray-blue borders doing the structural work that shadows do elsewhere. A single cobalt accent surfaces only at decision points: the primary CTA, active link, and a few brand marks. The unusual 8.8px corner radius is the signature — softer than a 6px tech feel, tighter than a 12px consumer feel, it signals 'serious tool, friendly enough'. Figtree carries negative tracking at every size, pulling headlines into compact, confident shapes rather than letting them sprawl. Density is generous; whitespace is treated as a structural element, not a luxury. Components are flat with hairline borders, never elevated with shadows.
