The pastel palette was chosen to invoke calmness and personal growth, aligning with the self-help genre while avoiding harshness or intimidation. Garamond as the serif font projects a sense of timeless wisdom, while Lato ensures legibility and modernity in smaller text. The pyramid's raised embossing suggests progress and subtle triumph, while the spot UV-coated title physically draws the reader’s attention, mirroring the layers of growth and support the book emphasizes. The overall design reflects a balance of aspirational themes and human connection.
