AINA · Options Board

Every option, in one place — nothing locked.

All the variants to weigh: five palettes, three type directions (Cinzel range in, Playfair scoped to social), gold values, CTA treatments, plus a few of my own. Open the live surfaces to flip palette/type/device in context; use the specimens below to compare quickly. Come back whenever with your calls.

A range, not one fixed face

Cinzel (titling) + Iowan/Georgia (headline) leads; pure Iowan is the quiet fallback; Playfair is scoped to social/video.

06 · COME BACK WITH

What I need to build the final

Per surface, pick a palette + type direction; then one gold value for the brand, and whether the moving-gold-border CTA is the primary everywhere or reserved for hero moments. You can mix freely (e.g. Website: Cream + Cinzel/Iowan · Platform: Ink + Cinzel/Iowan · Social: Playfair). I'll re-found the tokens and roll it through every surface, the components, and the specimen cards. Nothing here is committed yet.
