Design Style

Soft

Gentle, tactile, and atmospheric. Design that feels good to be inside.

Glassmorphism

Light passing
through layers

Glassmorphism creates UI that feels physically real — frosted, translucent, layered. The background bleeds through, refracted and softened.

Pioneered by Apple's macOS Big Sur in 2020, the trend spread through UI kits and design systems globally. Its key tension: depth that doesn't obscure legibility.

Depth Without Noise

Transparency creates layering cues without adding visual elements.

Colour Inheritance

The card adopts the mood of whatever is behind it — dynamic, reactive.

Material Honesty

Glass implies a physical substrate. The UI has weight, not just pixels.

Neumorphism

Extruded from
the surface

Neumorphism creates UI elements that appear to emerge from or push into the background material — soft, physical, and tactile.

It relies on dual shadows: one dark, one light, offset diagonally — mimicking a single ambient light source. The result is a surface that feels squeezable.

Two shadows

Dark below-right, light above-left

Matched bg

Card and page share the same colour

Soft radius

Generous rounding softens the extrusion

Low contrast

Subtle, never harsh or sharp

Gradients

Colour in motion

Gradients create atmosphere. They give flat surfaces temperature, direction, and mood — turning a background into an environment. Used well, a gradient tells a story before a single word is read.

Warm

#FF6B6B#FFE66D

Energetic, optimistic. Evokes sunrise and heat.

Cool

#4ECDC4#45B7D1

Calm, trustworthy. Water and sky in transition.

Electric

#A29BFE#FD79A8

Digital, surreal. The colour of screen glow.

Conic / Mesh

Full spectrum rotation

Radial / Mesh

Overlapping radials

Multiple gradient origins blend to create organic, painterly surfaces.
