Direction A of 3
Folio
Quiet, editorial and unmistakably academic.
Warm paper tones, a serif for headings and hairline rules instead of boxes. It reads like a well-set course handbook, so the university feels present without a glowing crest doing the work.
Why it works
- 01
Type does the work
A serif for headings and one sans for everything else. No gradients, glows or drop shadows.
- 02
Colour only where it means something
Ink for actions, Basotho blue for links and focus, terracotta only when a deadline is close.
- 03
Lists, not cards
Hairline rules keep long lists of courses and deadlines easy to scan on a small screen.
