Visual direction

The design reflects the physical deck by drawing on soft gradients, rounded shapes and a harmonious palette. Typography is elegant and spacious, combining editorial clarity with a sense of calm presence. Motion design reinforces reflection: cards animate smoothly, screens fade in quietly, and interactions feel fluid yet grounded. The interface balances the intimacy of a meditation app with the visual polish of a collectible design product.
