WebGL & 3D

Rendered scene specification.

Typography

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.

Elevation & Material

Elevated 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.

Sample surface
Minimalist Event Launch

Built from the recipe on the right — wrapper + inner surface, exactly as specified.

Do's & Don'ts

Constraints that keep the system honest.

Do
  • Use the primary palette as the main accent for emphasis and action states.
  • Keep spacing aligned to the 4px rhythm.
  • Reuse the Flat surface treatment consistently across cards and controls.
Don't
  • Don't introduce extra accent colors outside the core palette roles.
  • Don't exceed minimal motion intensity without a deliberate reason.
