Ultra-clean keynote style with maximum whitespace and zen-like simplicity

- Color: Pure White (#FFFFFF)
- Texture: None - absolute clean, no grain or patterns
Typography

Clean geometric sans-serif like SF Pro Display, Inter, or Helvetica Neue. Light to medium weight for elegant restraint. Generous letter-spacing. Large scale for impact without boldness.
