And honestly? Picking the right fonts felt just as important as picking the colors yesterday.
Because typography isnโt just how your words look. Itโs how your words feel.
After going back and forth I landed on
Playfair Display for headings elegant, editorial, carries weight without shouting. It has that classic sophistication that matches the black & white direction perfectly.
Inter for body clean, highly readable, gets out of the way and lets the content breathe. Together they create exactly the contrast I was after. Personality in the headlines. Clarity in the details. ๐ค
Then came the layout.
This is where it stops being a vibe and starts being a structure.
I mapped out every section what comes first, what comes next, how someone moves through the page. The wireframe is rough but intentional. Every block has a reason to be where it is. No decoration yet. Just bones. And good bones are everything. ๐๏ธ
Tomorrow is where it gets exciting
High fidelity. Real design. The page starts looking like something. โจ

And honestly? This is where it all starts to feel real. Before I opened Figma, I sat with one question
How do I want someone to feel the moment they land on my page?
Not what they should see. Not whatโs trending. The feeling.
I went through warm tones, cool palettes, gradients, muted neutrals. An hour deep and nothing felt right. And then it clicked.
โThe most sophisticated spaces in the world donโt need color to make a statement.
Luxury fashion. Editorial design. Premium architecture. Theyโve always lived in black and white.โ
So thatโs my direction. No accent color. No โpop.โ Just pure, intentional monochrome because restraint is the design decision. ๐ค๐ค
Hereโs what ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ญ gave me:
โขColor Palette - 7 tones from Void (#0A0A0A) all the way to Pure (#F5F5F0). Every shade earns its place.
โขMoodboard references:
Editorial layouts, premium web design, bold typographic energy. The vibe is clear.
The foundation is set. Everything from here gets built on top of this.
Tomorrow: wireframes and layout. Where the structure comes to life.
