flowmanceRelax Design System
Relax is a soft, quiet spa and wellness site with an editorial twist. The page is white and warm linen, the colour is a single burlywood tan, and almost every section is decorated with hand-drawn copper line illustrations (flowers, stones, candles, bottles). What gives it character is the type pairing: an extra-wide, heavy Syne for headlines and labels against a classic Playfair Display serif for every paragraph.
Signatures:
- Wide Syne over serif body. Headlines are Syne 700–800, which is very broad and geometric at these weights (The essence of health & vitality in one place.). Paragraphs are Playfair Display 17px in grey, so each block reads "poster title, book text".
- Copper line drawings on a blush blob. Section icons are sketch-style illustrations in a copper-tan line, each sitting on a soft, off-centre pale-pink circle. The hero adds a scatter of copper speckles top-left and line-drawn flowers bottom-left.
- The menu of treatments. Prices are laid out like a restaurant menu: icon, Syne name, a thin rule running to the right, an italic serif from, then a large Syne price $55.
- Linen and burlywood. Linen #F2EEE8 for the hero, service cards, testimonials and footer; burlywood #DEA974 for the main button. Everything else is white and black.

Do’s and don’ts
- Pair Syne 700–800 headlines with Playfair Display 17px paragraphs in #686868.
- Use burlywood #DEA974 with black text for the main button, 4px radius, 44px tall.
- Put a copper line illustration on a blush blob above centred section titles.
- Alternate white #FFFFFF and linen #F2EEE8 sections with 80px padding.
- Lay out prices as name, 1px #E1E1E1 rule, italic from, 30px Syne price.
- Keep photos square-cornered and warm.
- Add shadows, gradients on buttons, or rounded photo corners.
- Use burlywood #DEA974 as text on white beyond the one hero secondary button; it is about 2:1, so keep that label at 14px bold and never use it for body copy.
- Set paragraphs in Syne or headlines in Playfair; the split is strict.
- Use ink-subtle #757575 on linen for body text; keep it for 14px category labels on white.
- Introduce cool greys, blues or a second accent.
- Add letter spacing except on the 9px uppercase MENU label.
