Example output

Mood: calm, premium, and modern — lots of breathing space, no clutter. Imagery: real photography, soft daylight, candid not staged. Type: a humanist sans for headings with a clean serif for body. Color: muted neutrals with one warm accent. Do: generous whitespace, consistent grid. Do not: cliche stock handshakes, heavy drop shadows.
