Gov Plain
Public-service plainness: black on white, square corners, focus you cannot miss.
Construction · Ruled
There are no cards. A rule above a block announces it, spacing separates it, and nothing is ever enclosed.
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 Gov Plain style. Square corners, black text on white, one link blue, and a yellow focus state that is impossible to overlook. Every decorative decision has been removed on purpose. Build
The numbers in this prompt are printed from the tokens below, so it cannot drift from what the specimen renders.
What carries the look
- square corners
- one link blue
- large readable body text
- unmissable focus state
What this style refuses
- rounded corners
- decorative color
- small body text
- shadows or gradients
The refusals are the half that keeps generated interfaces from converging — a prompt that only says what to add gets the default look.
