Notebook

Doodles, handwriting and notebook paper

What defines this style
- Typography
- A clear handwriting face for headings, a simple comfortable text face, key words with a drawn underline.
- Colour
- Off-white paper, dark blue or pencil-grey ink, and two marker colours (orange, green).
- Layout
- Slightly rotated elements, sticky notes, drawn arrows linking things, a ruled or grid notebook background.
- Shapes
- Wobbly borders (uneven border-radius), tape on photo corners, circles drawn around words.
- Imagery
- Photos that look taped on, simple line drawings.
- Motion
- Lightly lively: underlines that draw in, a small wiggle on hover.
- Details
- Drawn arrows and stars, ✓ marks, handwritten side notes.
- Avoid
- Perfect sharp edges, soft digital shadows, corporate stiffness.
