Warmth 31/100
Cool
Reads cool and recessive — calming, technical, good for trust-led UI.
Softness 73/100

Depth 9/100
Very low
Airy and open — recedes, leaves the composition light.

Vintage feel 29/100
Low
A faint retro warmth without tipping into sepia.

Very low
Playful and accessible rather than exclusive.
