Leverages a symmetrical layout grid to structure blocks. Wide margins ensure high-fidelity reading focus across viewport transitions.

Design principles

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

01
Vibrant contrast

Keep text bright and sharp against deep orange gradients.

02
Wide expression

Let headings expand. Syne is designed to be expressive and heavy.

03
Warm shadows

Glow shadows should match the amber family, creating a backlit halo effect.
