Design System
We developed a sophisticated and elegant Design System that feels literary and timeless. The design language prioritizes readability with beautiful typography, a warm color palette, and ample white space. The goal was to create an intuitive user interface (UI) and a user experience (UX) that feels less like a website and more like opening a good book.
