Methodology
beats model size.
Editorial authority of a Didone serif with genuine character. Its "wonky" optical axis gives it personality without being decorative. Distinguished, slightly unexpected, never boring.
Eight is the engineer you wish you hired. Direct, warm, competent. He leads with the answer, explains if asked, and never pads bad news. His humor is dry and earned, never forced.
Every color serves a purpose. The palette is warm because the product is for humans. Orange is the accent because it signals energy without aggression.
No purple, violet, magenta, or pink. Anywhere. Ever. These hues conflict with the warm, grounded identity.
Every component follows the same design principles. 8px radius for small elements, 12px for cards. 44px minimum touch targets.
