Document Calm
A page that behaves like a document: almost no chrome, and hover reveals the rest.

Construction · Bare
There is no surface at all — no fill, no line, no tint. Size, weight and distance are the only tools left.
Every style renders this same screen, so the only thing changing between two of them is the style. The component above is the file below, running.
Prompt
Design this interface in the Document Calm style. Controls stay invisible until they are needed, leaving a document rather than an application. Structure comes from spacing and a single grey rule. Build every surface
The numbers in this prompt are printed from the tokens below, so it cannot drift from what the specimen renders.
What carries the look
- invisible until needed
- document not application
- spacing as structure
- single grey rule
What this style refuses
- always-visible toolbars
- card borders
- shadows
- saturated accents
The refusals are the half that keeps generated interfaces from converging — a prompt that only says what to add gets the default look.
