Granola
An AI notepad for back-to-back meetings
The style
A warm, editorial product language. Big, tightly set serif headlines sit on clean white, with a friendly sans for everything else. Actions are soft, fully rounded pills in charcoal or olive, and a fresh lime-olive palette gives the product its personality without ever shouting.

Layout
1256px container · 12 columns · 24px gutters
Patterns
- Wide single-column hero with generous vertical rhythm between sections.
- Twelve-column grid; content blocks usually span 4, 6 or 8 columns.
- Contained sections with consistent side gutters.
- Reading text limited to roughly 65–72 characters per line.
Responsive principles
- Below md, grids collapse to a single column and side gutters drop to 16px.
- Type steps above h2 scale down one step on small screens.
- Navigation collapses to a disclosure menu below lg.
- Touch targets stay at least 44×44px on every breakpoint.

Motion
Durations and easing curves. Previews respect your reduced-motion setting.
- fast80ms
- base140ms
- slow240ms
ease-standard
ease-enter
ease-exit
Principles
- Motion is brisk and functional — it confirms, it doesn't perform.
- Animate opacity and transform only; avoid animating layout.
- Respect prefers-reduced-motion by replacing movement with instant state changes or fades.
