Signature moves
asymmetric-radius sketchbook cards
cards carry an asymmetric radius signature (0px 48px 0px 0px, appearing 7 times) with thick ~2px pure-black borders on white instead of shadow, for a hand-drawn sketchbook feel.
underlined textbook section headings
section H2s are underlined like textbook chapter headings, and a quote glyph sits in italic-bracket style inside testimonial cards as editorial punctuation.
hand-drawn illustration over stock
hand-drawn cartoon illustrations (dollar coin on a paper plane) replace stock photography or product mockups, refusing the default B2B-fintech look, with two saturated accents (lavender #a973ff + lime #d9fc50) used sparingly.
