Hey Shad! Really strong concept, I really like it. It feels like it genuinely respects the reading experience, not just through functionality, but in how it's presented.

The design feels elegant and carefully put together, and the overall vibe is warm, inviting, and a bit luxurious, which works really well for a platform focused on books!

The typography choices are spot on. Playfair Display gives it that classy, editorial bookish look, and Montserrat keeps things clean and readable. It's a nice balance between style and clarity.

The colour palette also helps set the tone (specially for me who likes to read at night in the cozy of a dark room with just a nightstand light), the deep blacks and warm gold tones feel like home without being over the top.

That said, there are a few areas where readability could be improved. Some of the text, especially captions or smaller elements, gets a bit lost against the dark backgrounds. Colours like the muted greys and browns don’t always offer enough contrast, which might be an issue for accessibility. It’s a small tweak, but it would make a big difference.

All in all, it’s a beautiful project with a clear identity. With a few small adjustments, it could easily become a standout example of how to blend thoughtful design with storytelling.

Thank you so much for your work!

Hey Helena! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous feedback.. it truly means a lot coming from someone with such a strong eye for design. I really appreciate how you picked up on the atmosphere I was aiming for — warm, inviting, and just a touch of luxury..it’s reassuring to know that it resonated! I’m also really glad the typography choices worked for you — Playfair and Montserrat felt like the perfect duo to balance personality and readability, so it’s great to hear that stood out. You’re absolutely right about the contrast issues I completely agree, especially when it comes to smaller text. I’ll definitely revisit those areas and tweak the colors to improve clarity and accessibility. Thanks so much for pointing that out in such a constructive way. Again, I truly appreciate your kind words and the time you took to engage with the project so deeply. Means a lot!
