Styles and touches

A style, then a touch.

A deck wears a style: its colour and type. On top it can wear a touch: how a model draws boxes, keylines, rules and bullets. A touch changes shape, never colour, so any style takes any touch. Both ride inside the prompt, for the AI you already have.

Styles

Five, carried by every template and layout set. A template starts in its own; change it in Create.

Midnight
Navy and gold, the unPaper default. Dark.
Paper
Cream with a warm red. Serif headings where the family has them.
Slate
Cool grey with a steady blue.
White
Pure white, one deep accent, no wash.
Monochrome
Black on white, Helvetica. No colour at all.

Choose one in Create ·Your own colours and type are a brand kit, kept apart from these.

Touches

We study what different models build without instructions, distil the recurring decisions about shape, and rebuild them on the unPaper format. Each touch is named for what it looks like and credited to the model it came from.

Every deck above was loaded in a real browser, rendered with scripts on and off, resized, and printed to a real PDF. These are the results — not opinions about the models, just what their own files do. Click a model to open its card.
