Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of folk art, modern illustration, and Japanese zen-inspired design. It exhibits qualities similar to Nordic minimalist illustration while maintaining the warmth of handmade printmaking. The style emphasizes the purity of lines and simplification of forms, combining childlike naivety with sophisticated artistic expression, reminiscent of woodcut prints merged with modern design sensibilities.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of these images are bold, minimalist linework and strong pattern contrasts. Hand-drawn black lines form the foundation, complemented by a vibrant but limited color palette (primarily yellows, oranges, reds, and blues). The compositions are flattened, lacking traditional perspective, and this deliberate simplification creates a unique visual rhythm and balance. Dotted textures and repetitive line patterns add depth, giving the overall style a modern feel while retaining the warmth of handcrafted art.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Line illustration: Enhances the expressiveness of linework in the pieces, strengthens the hand-drawn quality and artistry, adding more dynamic qualities to the composition
  • Folk art patterns: Introduces more repetitive decorative elements, enriching the cultural foundation and artistic depth of the work
  • Limited palette: Controls the number of colors, using high-contrast minimalist color schemes that make the composition both harmonious and vibrant

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for café and boutique branding, children's book illustrations, lifestyle magazine editorial design, cultural merchandise (such as notebooks, phone cases, tote bags), and corporate brand identity systems that emphasize approachability. It communicates a feeling that is both modern and warm, ideal for contexts that aim to convey artistic sensibility without sacrificing accessibility.

More Prompt Tips & Tricks


You can explore further by combining the following prompt command for MidJourney:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2

This website stands out as one of the pioneering libraries I discovered in my AI art journey. What truly sets it apart is its comprehensive offering: not just unique style codes, but also intricate blends and full prompts. The inclusion of complete prompts is particularly valuable, as it's an artistic choice that many creators hesitate to share openly.

As a beginner in MidJourney, I struggled to create the style of images I envisioned and felt lost with keyword usage. This led me to create this website for sref codes and examples with prompts, aimed at helping newcomers easily generate high-quality images and find joy in their creative process.
