| 1 | # Visual style: soft-rounded |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Approachable and modern. Rounded cards, gentle elevation, friendly rhythm. For product, SaaS, training, consumer decks. |

| 7 | ## 1. Shape & decoration |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - Shape language: visibly rounded rectangles, pill tags, and soft containers. Keep the radius family coherent deck-wide. |
| 10 | - Composition geometry: a large soft disc or blob bleeding off one edge as the color field; a pill chain or exact native `arc` / `blockArc` preset replacing the boxed step row; one hero panel overlapping a full-width tinted band; an oversized rounded numeral behind the point. Use a custom arc path only when the presets cannot faithfully express the intended contour. Cards are the container language, not the composition — vary the stage they sit on. |
| 11 | - Decoration: cards as the primary container; icon accents; numbered circles; gentle dividers. Moderate, in service of clarity. |
| 12 | - Whitespace: comfortable padding inside cards; even gutters; balanced rather than austere. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ## 2. Typography character |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - Friendly sans (humanist or geometric); medium weights; clear but not severe hierarchy. |
| 17 | - Rounded, open letterforms suit; avoid condensed / industrial faces. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | > Families are chosen at confirmation `g`; this style asks for an approachable sans *character*. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## 3. Using the deck's colors |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - Theme color used confidently on covers / chapter backgrounds; same-hue tints for card backings; accent for key figures. |
| 24 | - Warmer, more generous color use than swiss / editorial. Assign hues by semantic role and visual hierarchy; intentional multi-hue compositions remain valid. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | > HEX values come from confirmation `e`; this style governs confident, friendly color use without naming colors or imposing a ratio. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ## 4. Texture / elevation |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - Gentle elevation: soft shadows on floating cards, subtle tints, and optional same-hue gradients. Keep the elevation hierarchy shallow and coherent; peer-grid cards stay flat. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ## 5. Paired image-rendering |
| 33 | |
| 34 | `flat` — clean modern blocks for AI images. (For frosted-glass depth, see the dedicated [`glassmorphism`](./glassmorphism.md) style.) |
| 35 | |
| 36 | ## 6. Illustration propensity |
| 37 | |
| 38 | **supportive** — friendly rounded spots suit this approachable style; use them where they lift rhythm or section warmth, kept restrained. With no user steer this is the default lean; an explicit user request wins either way, and `image_usage: none` writes no illustration rows. |
