A broad aesthetic emphasizing humanistic refinement with maximalist principles. Flat color blocks, round edges, intricate patterns, and nature-inspired tertiary hues.
Bright Tertiaries features prominent blocks of flat color, round edges, intricate patterns, and flourishes. The palette centers on tertiary hues -- lime green, purple, orange, teal, fuchsia, and cyan -- invoking feelings of nature through vibrant secondary and tertiary colors rather than primaries.
The palette avoids primary colors entirely, staying within the lime, purple, orange, teal, fuchsia, and cyan range. High saturation and high contrast adjacency create maximum vibrancy.
Every choice in Bright Tertiaries serves a humanistic, nature-inspired warmth. These principles guide how elements are composed, colored, and arranged.
Bold, saturated tertiary hues applied in large blocks. Each panel, card, or section uses a single saturated color.
Singular objects use one hue with no gradients. Backgrounds use solid fills for a clean, graphic quality.
Approachable, friendly, nature-inspired feeling. The aesthetic should be welcoming rather than cold or clinical.
Vibrant colors placed directly next to each other. Lime next to purple, orange next to teal -- for maximum visual energy.
Decorative without being heavy. Light flourishes, floral accents, and simple patterns add charm without overwhelming.
Visually welcoming organization. Accessible and inviting rather than avant-garde or challenging. Designed for everyone.
Rounded, humanist sans-serif typefaces matching the soft, approachable visual identity. Friendly letterforms with open counters and soft terminals.
