# Agency Feminine — Visual Theme & Atmosphere

Agency Feminine is a soft, elegant design system built for brands that communicate through warmth, refinement, and understated beauty. It draws from editorial fashion, boutique hospitality, and curated lifestyle aesthetics — spaces where texture and tone matter more than volume. Every element is designed to feel intentional, considered, and quietly luxurious.

The palette is rooted in warm neutrals — cream backgrounds, dusty rose accents, and sage green counterpoints that evoke natural materials and handcrafted quality. Colour is never loud; it suggests rather than shouts. Typography pairs delicate serif headings (Cormorant, with its beautiful italic forms) with a clean, friendly sans-serif body (Lato), creating a hierarchy that feels both elevated and approachable.

Surfaces are soft with generous border-radius (12px standard), thin borders, and diffuse shadows that create gentle depth without harsh edges. Whitespace is luxurious — sections breathe, content floats, and the eye is guided rather than directed. Motion, where used, is slow and graceful: gentle fades, smooth reveals, nothing jarring.

**Key characteristics:**

- **Mood:** Warm, elegant, refined, nurturing, curated
- **Background:** Cream `#fdf6ee` — warm, never stark white
- **Signature colours:** Dusty rose `#d4a5a5`, sage green `#9caf88`
- **Typography feel:** Serif headings with italic flourishes, clean sans body
- **Corner treatment:** Soft and rounded — 12px default, 16px containers
- **Border style:** Thin (1px), subtle, warm-toned `#e8ddd0`
- **Shadow approach:** Diffuse, warm-toned, gentle depth
- **Density:** Low — generous padding, ample line-height, breathing room
- **Motion:** Gentle — 400–600ms ease-in-out, fade and slide, never bounce
