Composition cues.
The high-level posture every page in this system should hold before any individual component or token is touched.
Moderate motion.
Durations, easings, and patterns observed in the source. Hover the demo to see the system's primary duration / easing applied to a real element.

Animations in context.
Live animations using this system's primary duration and easing. Each tile labels the values it's using.
Four hero layouts.
Working hero layouts rendered in this system's tokens — typography, colour, radii, and motion all derive from the spec.
Build something unforgettable.
A demonstration of this system's centered editorial hero composition.
Three card recipes.
Different case-study cards built from this system's components — image-led, side-by-side, and quote-led.
Three voices, one system.
Testimonial cards rendered with this system's tokens — single quote, three-up, and an auto-advancing carousel.
“MD Files turned our brand exploration from weeks into a single afternoon. It's the best gift to designers I've seen this year.”
“Saved my team weeks of token discovery.”
“Drop-in spec, drop-in product polish.”
“Felt like cheating. Beautiful tokens.”
Four roles. One palette.
Primary, secondary, tertiary, and neutral. Each tile previews the colour at full bleed with its hex value and intended role.
Live tokens, real samples.
Each typography token is rendered at its specified family, size, weight, line height, and tracking. Background uses the system's own surface so contrast reads accurately.

One rhythm, applied everywhere.
Base unit 4.8px. The full scale below — every spacing decision should snap to one of these steps.
Glass surfaces, gradient-border shell.
The exact recipe used for elevated surfaces in this system. Wrapper provides a 1px gradient frame; inner surface carries the real content.
Built from the recipe on the right — wrapper + inner surface, exactly as specified.
/* outer wrapper */ padding: 1px; border-radius: 16px; background: linear-gradient(145deg, rgba(255,255,255,0.22), rgba(255,255,255,0.02)); /* inner surface */ border-radius: 15px; background: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); backdrop-filter: blur(12px);
- 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.1)
- 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.12)
- inset 0 2px 4px rgba(255,255,255,0.08)
- inset 0 -1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.25)
- 0 8px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.35)
Radius family.
The full set of corner radii used across surfaces, controls, and badges. Stay within this family for visual cohesion.
Buttons, links, and cards.
Live components built directly from this system's recipes — background, text colour, radius, padding, and border are pulled from the spec.
Background rgba(0,0,0,0.4) · radius 15px · padding 32px · blur 12px.
Solar · Linear duotone
A 12-icon Solar grid rendered in the system's accent colour against its background — the same recipe should hold across the product.
Constraints that keep the system honest.
- Reserve red and gold for moments that earn emphasis.
- Keep the Playfair voice for headlines only.
- Reuse the gradient border shell for every elevated surface.
- Don't pair the serif with another display face.
- Don't introduce flat opaque cards alongside the glass system.
- Don't exceed moderate motion intensity.
