# Japandi

Schema: 1.0.0 · Content revision: f5fd78058ba2
Resource base: https://mejohnc.org (or the preview host used to obtain this file).

A contemporary interiors-inspired blend of restrained Japanese and Scandinavian references. For screens, the useful translation is material warmth and economical composition.

## Visual family
Craft, place & natural materials. Editorial family: shared visual vocabulary, not a claim of common origin.

## Visual cues
- Warm neutrals
- Uncluttered arrangement
- Natural material imagery

## Build it
1. Use one quiet surface color.
2. Align content to a simple grid.
3. Make product photography carry the texture.

## Example
A furniture catalog with oak photography, generous gutters, and direct product information.

## Typography
Choose an understated sans-serif with open counters. Avoid excessive tracking in body copy.

## Practical consequences
- Starting projects: Store, Portfolio. These are suggestions, not restrictions.
- Reading/layout: spacious; quiet visual emphasis.
- Asset work: Material or product photographs do much of the expressive work.
- Complexity: low. Mostly standard CSS; imagery may still need preparation.

## Limits
Treating beige as the whole concept or reducing text contrast to create calm.

## Reading the collected reference board
Notice the warm paper tones, simplified objects, and generous margins. The board is an interiors-and-print interpretation rather than an example of Japanese interface conventions.

## Context
Contemporary screen interpretation. The recipe is a modern web adaptation.
No single inventor or exact founding date is asserted for this interpretation.
