Hatch. Hand-drawn zine meets pastel candy store.

  • Studio

Hatch operates as a playful creative-agency brand on a warm cream canvas: the page reads like a hand-illustrated zine rather than a corporate SaaS site. Recoleta, a chunky high-contrast serif at very large sizes with tight negative tracking, carries every headline while a quiet grotesque (Lota Grotes Que Alt) handles UI and body. A four-color pastel palette — mint, sky, peach, pink — functions as functional punctuation against the cream, with mint green reserved for the primary action and the other three cycling through decorative dots, highlight swashes, illustration strokes, and tag chips. Cards, buttons, and tags lean heavily rounded (16–40px, full pill for CTAs), generous 4px-based spacing creates breathing room, and a recurring visual vocabulary of hand-drawn mint highlight swashes, confetti dots, and a cute blue mascot character threads the whole system together.

Brand3

  • Primary action button fill, hand-drawn headline highlight swashes, active nav emphasis — the signature color that signals go

  • Deep brand accent for dark surface text, illustration fills, and emphasis — provides a rich counterweight to the pastels

  • Outlined action border, dark button outline variant — borders and strokes when a deeper violet frame is needed without filling

Accent3

  • Decorative illustration strokes, confetti dots, secondary accent chips, icon outlines — the cool member of the pastel set

  • Decorative confetti dots, highlight swashes, playful accent shapes — adds warmth and energy

  • Decorative dots, warm accent fills, illustration warm tones — the sunset note in the pastel quartet

Neutrals6

  • Primary text, hairline borders, icon strokes, card outlines — the dominant structural color, 3625 occurrences make it the spine of every layout

  • Body text and secondary headings when a slightly softer black is needed

  • Nav text and subdued UI labels

  • Subtle link underlines and dividers in muted contexts

  • Page background, canvas — warm off-white that softens the overall feel and keeps the pastel accents from vibrating against pure white

  • Card and button surfaces — sits one elevation above the cream canvas
