Body text
Lead paragraph.Body text sits at the backbone of any interface — if it reads well, everything else has a chance. If it doesn't, nothing else matters.
Standard paragraph at the body size. Type hierarchies work best when the jump from body to subheading is clear but not disruptive — around 1.25-1.5× works across most contexts. Inline elements like a link, inline code, emphasis, strong, and highlighted text should all feel native to the kit.
Small / caption text — used for metadata, timestamps, descriptions under labels. Usually 14px or slightly smaller.

“Good design is as little design as possible. Less, but better — because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials.”

## Overview
A light-mode pastel variant of the Guilde kit. Warm off-white canvas, coral
accent, mint and sky gradients for AI presence — energetic but not loud. Pair
with Plus Jakarta Sans for display weight and JetBrains Mono for machine-side
affordances.
## Colors
- Warm off-white background (`#FFF8F5`) — soft, never sterile.
- Pure white surfaces (`#FFFFFF`) — cards float with subtle glow shadows.
- Warm near-black ink (`#1A1614`) — pulls toward sepia, not blue.
- Coral accent (`#FF6B4A`) — primary CTAs and active states.
- Mint and sky for AI presence (`#D6F5EE` → `#C8EDFF` gradient).
- Peach and butter for human presence (`#FFE0D6` → `#FFECD6` gradient).
## Typography
- **Plus Jakarta Sans** for headings — modern geometric with confident weight.
- **Inter** for body — neutral, dependable.
- **JetBrains Mono** for agent chips and code — signals "the machine is
speaking".
## Usage
Reach for Pastel Modern when the surface should feel optimistic and fresh —
marketing landings, onboarding, product tours. Use the gradients sparingly on
accent elements; let the warm off-white canvas do the heavy lifting.
