Strengths

✓
Ship-ready quality

A step up from the base utility tier for assets that go in front of customers rather than staying internal.

✓
Consistent style

Holds a described visual language across a batch, which keeps a generated asset library coherent.

✓
Clean type and edges

Sharper linework and more legible in-image text than the cheaper utility tier.

✓
Reference-image editing

Restyle or extend an existing asset by passing it as a reference instead of regenerating from the prompt alone.
