The personal style guide

Clarity.
Room to breathe.

One quiet visual language for your documents, presentations, and digital spaces. Thoughtful typography. Useful color. Nothing competing with the content.

Version 1 · September 2026

Less, with intention.

Inspired by the restraint of Apple’s design language, with a style of your own.

01

Let the content lead.

A clear title. An opening that matters. Sections that make the next step easy to find.

02

Make space.

Comfortable type, generous margins, and a steady rhythm. Every element has room.

03

Use color with purpose.

White and soft gray form the backdrop. Blue guides attention to what you can do next.

A quiet palette.

Near-black text, white pages, a soft gray canvas, and one blue accent. Supporting text stays readable.

Typography does the work.

A single sans-serif family, clear changes in scale, and a natural reading rhythm.

Aa.

Simple, by design.

Readable at every size. Calm on every page. Familiar on every screen.

A more focused week

Choose a small number of priorities and give each one a clear place in the week.

Start with what matters

Name the work that deserves your best attention. Keep the list short enough to remember, and specific enough to act on.

Leave room to think

Protect time for learning, rest, and the unexpected. A useful plan should help you make choices without filling every hour.

Next step
Choose one priority and reserve the first block of focused time.

The same style, in every format.

Shared principles, adapted to the way each format is read and used.

Documents & study packs

White pages, 11 pt body text, generous margins, clear headings, quiet tables, and citations where they help.

Presentations

One idea per slide. Large titles, short supporting text, direct chart labels, and generous open space.

Spreadsheets

Readable rows, restrained headers, consistent number formats, and a blue accent for the outputs that matter.

Digital spaces

Native typography, soft surfaces, simple line icons, comfortable controls, and considered light and dark themes.

Ready to reuse.
