Three Little Lunas

Design system.

Everything needed to make something on-brand. The paste-into-Claude version of this lives in Brand/BRAND_BLOCK.md — this page is what it should produce.

Colour

Grouped by family, darkest to lightest, neutrals last. Linen or soft white is the ground unless the piece is meant to feel like night. One dark band per graphic. Brick is punctuation — a button, a rule, one word — never a field.

Greens Forest is the brand. Sage only ever draws a line.

Forest#405636Primary dark · white text
Sage#8B9678Rules · quiet borders

Waters Two depths of the same water. Deep water goes under the footer.

Deep water#1F5265Footers · deepest bands
River teal#3F7D85Secondary dark · white text

Earths Brick is punctuation, not a field. Clay and bloom rose warm it.

Brick#A5533DThe accent · sparingly
Clay#B5764CWarm mid
Bloom rose#D9927EWhimsy · rarely

Sands The light bands. All three take dark text, none take white.

Lichen#DDC77EHairlines · on-dark eyebrows
Dry grass#D4C6A8Image underlay
Warm sand#E2D4B6Light band · dark text

Whimsy One colour, used almost never. Ceremony and readings only.

Moon lilac#9C86AEWhimsy · rarely

Neutrals Darkest to lightest. Text at the top, ground at the bottom.

Bark#332F29Body text · never #000
Ink soft#5E574CSecondary text
Linen#F3EDE1Page ground
Soft white#FFFDF8Cards · never #FFF

Type

Marcellus for display, Karla for everything else. Modular scale, ratio 1.25. Marcellus ships one weight — never bold it, never fake-bold it.

Portraits and feature images use the arch radius.

Bands & patterns

One pattern per graphic. Always behind content. Never above 0.30 opacity.

Earth's texture

Bamboo · on sand at 0.17

Vertical culms with nodes. The grove is a real place she teaches in, and the form is already the brand's grammar — vertical, rhythmic, segmented.

Quiet texture

Thread rain · on linen at 0.10

Vertical dotted threads. The lightest of the four. It was reading as ruled notepaper under body copy, so it now sits at 0.10 — present, not legible.

Night only

Night moons · on deep water at 0.14

Crescents and gold dots. Dark grounds only — it disappears on anything light.

No pattern

Plain forest

Most bands need nothing. When in doubt, this.

Pull quote

Expansion is remembering how limitless you’ve always been.

Voice

Sounds like her

  • “You lie down, you stop managing anything for ninety minutes, and the sound does the rest.”
  • “It asks nothing of you.”
  • “The room goes quiet, and then it goes deep.”
  • “These are not escapes from your life. They are invitations to return to it more fully.”

Does not

  • “Embark on a transformative healing journey!”
  • “Unlock Your Highest Self” — Title Case, and a promise she cannot keep
  • Anything with “vibes”, “magic”, “sacred container”, or an exclamation mark
  • Claims about what a modality does medically

Hard rules

Never

  • Pure black #000 or pure white #FFF
  • Bold Marcellus, or fake-bold it
  • Title Case A Headline
  • Brick as a large field — it is punctuation
  • Two patterns in one graphic
  • A gradient between two brand colours
  • Label an offering Earth, Water, Fire, or Air

Always

  • Linen or soft white as the ground, unless it is meant to feel like night
  • Sentence case
  • Generous margins, tight leading on headings
  • One dark band, not three
  • Real photography — warm, outdoors, never stock-looking
  • When unsure, remove something

The four buckets — settled

Mentorship · Privates · Groups · Events. Plain nouns for how someone actually arrives, not a metaphor they have to decode. Each keeps its colour: forest, teal, brick, sand. Use these labels verbatim on site, in OfferingTree, and on any partner graphic.

Retired, do not revive. Earth · Water · Fire · Air made claims that are not true — sound is not water, Reiki is not fire. Ground · Release · Awaken · Expand replaced them for a while and was also dropped: the verbs described a feeling, not a thing you can book. The elements survive only as the palette.

Fonts, in practice

Marcellus and Karla are Google Fonts. In a normal HTML page or on the site, link them. In a locked-down artifact or an emailed asset they may not load — fall back to Georgia for display and the system sans for body, and do not substitute a different personality. No Playfair, no Cormorant, no Montserrat.
