The layout design reflects the fluidity and flexibility of the Nari Variable typeface. It is sometimes delicate, basking in wide swaths of color, and sometimes bold, and brave, taking up space, demanding to be seen.

The color palette is inspired by the rich colors found in marigolds, a prominent flower in Hindu culture. 

The Minion type family is simple but refined to allow the Nari Variable to shine.
