# Shapes
{% hint style="info" %}
**Theme Editor → Theme settings → Shape**
{% endhint %}
### Shape is a brand language
Most shoppers won't consciously notice your button corners. But they will feel the difference. Sharp, squared-off corners read as confident, editorial, and premium. Soft, rounded corners feel approachable, modern, and friendly.
Avante lets you apply a consistent visual language across every UI element — from buttons to images to the burger menu — so your design feels intentional throughout.
***
### Buttons & interactive elements
The **Buttons** and **Text fields, dropdowns** settings define how all interactive UI feels at a touch level. Match these to the same radius value as a baseline — consistency between inputs and buttons is the most immediate signal of a polished UI.
| Radius | Brand personality |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Disabled / Small | Fashion, luxury, editorial — confident and sharp |
| Medium / Large | Contemporary, lifestyle, DTC — modern and friendly |
| XLarge / Round | Soft brands, beauty, wellness — approachable and warm |
**Round** creates fully circular elements — works especially well for color swatch pills and icon buttons.
***
#### Images & sections
**Images and sections** controls the radius applied to section containers and product images. Unlike buttons, this setting goes up to **XXLarge** but not **Round** — preventing unintended oval shapes on tall images.
{% hint style="info" %}
Mixing styles here is intentional: square section backgrounds with rounded product card images creates a layered visual hierarchy that many contemporary brands use.
{% endhint %}
***
#### Product card images
This setting applies specifically to product images inside collection cards, independent from other image contexts. Use it to define how your grid looks without affecting hero banners or section images.
{% hint style="success" icon="sparkles" %}
**Pro tip:** Start with **Buttons** and **Text fields** at the same value, then try **Product card images** one step higher. The slight contrast draws attention to the product photos while keeping the interactive layer consistent.
