Design principles

Core behavioral guidelines to preserve the design language's integrity when scaling templates.

01
Night sky depth

Surfaces use deep indigo-violet, never pure black. The whole UI feels like a midnight sky.

02
Analogous flow

Indigo and violet are adjacent hues — they flow naturally without contrast vibration.

03
Serif authority

Playfair Display gives headings a classic, authoritative presence in an otherwise modern UI.
