White background with dusty cornflower-blue surface (#D1DBEA) is a surface color choice that communicates without being decorative. It is not the sharp blue of tech products, not the warm gray of editorial products. It is a specific dusty blue — institutional, slightly faded, as if the card had been on a gallery wall for a while and absorbed the ambient light.

EB Garamond at a single weight (400) throughout is the most typographically committed choice in Batch 2. No bold headings. No weight variation. The hierarchy comes entirely from size. At 1.0 heading line-height, the headings stack tight — the old-style letterforms at this density create the visual weight of a book spine.

Body at 1.4 line-height with 15px paragraph spacing creates comfortable reading conditions for long content. The uniform serif texture — same family, same weight, different size — makes the page feel like it was composed by a typographer rather than assembled from a component library.

Flat depth — no shadows anywhere on standard elements. The dusty blue surface containers create spatial separation without shadow overhead. Subtle surface noise on the surface containers gives them a slightly material, not-quite-digital quality. Custom fast easing curves (cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)) on enters create a spring quality — elements arrive with a small overshoot, then settle.
