  • Bento-grid and ultra-flat components: prescribes asymmetrical grid layouts, crisp borders, and minimal shadows to achieve a refined editorial appearance.
  • Iconography & imagery guidelines: favors strong system icons and monochrome illustrations, with subtle photo toning to blend with the palette.
  • Motion & accessibility: recommends nearly invisible motion and accessible color contrasts, preserving performance.
