Soft Shadow Cards
No borders at all — a single soft shadow does every job a border would.
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 Soft Shadow Cards style. Cards have no outline whatsoever; one soft, wide shadow separates them from the page. Exactly one elevation level exists, so nothing competes. 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
- no outlines
- one soft wide shadow
- single elevation level
- shadow as the border
What this style refuses
- borders on cards
- multiple elevation levels
- hard offset shadows
- tinted surfaces
The refusals are the half that keeps generated interfaces from converging — a prompt that only says what to add gets the default look.
