Visual kits for agents that need to design well
Pick what you're building, preview every kit on that surface, and hand your agent a complete visual system — fonts, colors, tokens, and component rules.

An editorial grid system resting on three flat surface colors: near-white, mint teal (#3bbc8f), and dusty rose (#ecb6c3), applied as full-width horizontal section bands separated by 1px hairline borders. There are zero border-radii, zero drop shadows, and zero gradients. Hierarchy comes entirely from typographic scale, all-caps labelling in Barlow, and color-band alternation. The system ports naturally into structured data-heavy interfaces such as schedules and tables.

Each use below is named in the kit's brief and clears the checks for contrast, typography, and information density.
The same kit, applied to real screens. Nothing here is a mockup of a template — every surface is drawn from this kit's own tokens, type and treatments.
The same kit across 3 surfaces.
Generic output is a layout problem before it is a color problem. These rules ship inside the kit, so the agent building your project reads them too.

Typography is what language looks like. The right typeface sets the tone before a single word is read. Its rhythm, weight, and shape carry the brand.

## Overview An editorial grid system resting on three flat surface colors: near-white, mint teal (#3bbc8f), and dusty rose (#ecb6c3), applied as full-width horizontal section bands separated by 1px hairline borders. There are zero border-radii, zero drop shadows, and zero gradients. Hierarchy comes entirely from typographic scale, all-caps labelling in Barlow, and color-band alternation. The system ports naturally into structured data-heavy interfaces such as schedules and tables. ## Personality - **Feels like:** institutional, taut, chromatic-austere, print-faithful, rigorous. - **Not like:** consumer SaaS warmth: rounded cards, soft shadows, friendly hover micro-animations, glassmorphism or frosted panel overlays of any kind, dark-mode neon glow aesthetics with accent color strokes on dark surfaces, startup persuasion architecture: hero → features → testimonials → pricing CTA stacked vertically, editorial maximalism: diagonal type, overlapping image, text layers, bleed photography as section fill. ## Colors Every color captured from the source. Store all of them; a given screen renders only the subset it needs (a chart may use every data-viz color while a hero uses two). **Brand** - `#3bbc8f`: primary 1 **Surfaces** - `#46b48d`: surface-band 2 - `#f3f3f3`: background 11 - `#f0f0f0`: surface 12 **Ink / text** - `#1a1a1a`: foreground 14 - `#0a1f16`: foreground-on-primary 15 - `#555555`: muted-foreground 17 **Accents** - `#ecb6c3`: secondary 7 - `#f4b7c7`: accent 8 **Data-viz series** - `#60dcad`: data-viz 6 - `#fcb9cb`: data-viz 10 **Borders** - `#c8c8c8`: border 13 **Other** - `#54b393`: muted 3 - `#275c44`: dark-variant 4 - `#384942`: dark-variant 5 - `#dbacbc`: muted 9 - `#a2a2a2`: muted 16
