A look
Cotton paper
by Takehound
Warm, heavy paper you can almost feel, with brick-red stressed words: for lessons that should read like a well-made book.
Starts from Clean
One frame of a real talk, as shot and with a punch line drawn by the editor in Cotton paper: Inter Bold, with the stressed words set in Instrument Serif italic and coloured with the accent, lightened to 42% so they read over the picture. Slide to compare. Every word on it was said in the talk.
When to use it
Use it when your video teaches something step by step and the cards carry real reading: definitions, comparisons, a short table. The paper has a visible tooth and fibre, so a full card reads as a page and not a flat colour on a screen. Brick red marks the stressed words, close to the colour of a printer's second ink, and the cream panels beside you sit on the picture like a note slipped into a book. It is the look to reach for when a viewer will pause the video to read what is on screen.
Who it suits
It suits an educator whose brand is warm and considered: a writer, a teacher, a coach with a book or a course that people work through at their own speed. It is quiet by design, and that is the point of it. For a loud, fast talk, or a video that lives on one-line claims, a look built on Bold keeps up better.
What it changes
Cotton paper starts from Clean and sets its colours and what stands behind its words. Whatever it leaves alone is Clean's.
