Spacing & shape
Components
Text in Midnight Ink (#000000) set at 26px with a line height of 1.0. No background, serving as interactive text.
A ghost button with a full pill shape (428.571px radius). The text is Midnight Ink (#000000) and the button has a 1.5px solid Midnight Ink (#000000) border. Padding is 14px on all sides.
Large text at 123px, weight 400, in Midnight Ink (#000000), utilizing the Kostic typeface to immediately convey brand personality.
Guidelines
- Use Lemon Peel (#f5f5e3) as the default background for all page content, creating a consistent 'sketchpad' feel.
- Apply Kostic typeface at weight 400 for all text elements to maintain typographic consistency.
- Ensure all interactive elements, particularly buttons, have a border-radius of 428.571px to achieve a distinct pill shape.
- Utilize Midnight Ink (#000000) for all text and UI outlines to provide maximum contrast against the background.
- Maintain a comfortable density with a standard element gap of 24px and section gaps of 86px for clear content separation.
- Employ a 1.5px solid border in Midnight Ink (#000000) for all outlined elements.
- Use a base line height of 1.0 across all text to keep a tight, compact typographic appearance.
- Avoid introducing gradients; the design system relies on flat, high-contrast colors.
- Do not use additional font weights or families; the Kostic font with its singular weight is the only approved typeface.
- Refrain from using shadows or elevation effects; the visual style emphasizes a flat, two-dimensional aesthetic.
- Do not add complex interactive states that involve significant color changes; interactions should be subtle and primarily outline-based.
- Avoid using any color other than Lemon Peel (#f5f5e3), Buttercup (#f4d748), or Midnight Ink (#000000) for UI elements.
- Do not break the established spacing rhythm; consistent use of 24px for elements and 86px for sections is crucial.
- Avoid adding new radii values; stick to 17.1429px for general elements and 428.571px for pill-shaped components.
About this system
ShowHide
Antonio Uve presents a playful, high-contrast digital notebook aesthetic. A bold primary background color dominates the canvas, creating an immediate and memorable visual statement. Typography is kept minimal, relying on a single, distinctive font to carry the identity. Interaction elements are subtle, often featuring ghost-like outlines and large radii, maintaining a light and airy feel despite the strong background color.
The page uses a full-bleed layout, where the primary Lemon Peel background extends edge-to-edge. Content appears to be centered horizontally with significant vertical spacing between sections. The hero section features a prominent, centered headline. Navigation is a simple top bar with left ('Info') and right ('Projects') aligned links, all in a ghost-like text style. There is a focused content area with no complex grid structures apparent, emphasizing singular messages or sections. Elements are stacked vertically, creating a comfortable, unhurried rhythm.
The site primarily features vector-based illustrations and 'silly animations' where color is vibrant and forms the core of the content rather than being a UI element. Icons are simple, outlined, and minimal, often incorporating the brand's primary colors.
