Everything sized for a standing stranger with one free hand.

Construction · Elevation
Height is the only signal: a two-part ambient shadow that grows with importance, and no borders or gradients at all.
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 Kiosk Touch style. Targets are large, type is large, and there are few choices per screen. Designed to be used once, quickly, by someone who has never seen it before. Build every surface the Elevation way: Height is the only signal: a two-part ambient shadow that grows with importance, and no borders or gradients at all. Use exactly these values: background #f2f4f7, surfaces #ffffff, text #131820, secondary text #4f5a67, accent #0b5cd6 with #ffffff on it; corner radius 8/14/20px; 2px solid borders; one barely-there shadow for lift; system-ui for body at 18px, line height 1.4; 8px spacing grid, generous breathing room. Never: dense lists; small tap targets; subtle secondary actions; hover-only affordances. Dark mode uses background #0c1016, surfaces #161c24, text #eef2f7, accent #67a6ff — the same style, not an inverted one.
The numbers in this prompt are printed from the tokens below, so it cannot drift from what the specimen renders.
What carries the look
- large touch targets
- large type
- few choices per screen
- obvious primary action
What this style refuses
- dense lists
- small tap targets
- subtle secondary actions
- hover-only affordances
The refusals are the half that keeps generated interfaces from converging — a prompt that only says what to add gets the default look.
