Whitespace Luxury
Space is the material. Very little on screen, and all of it small.

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 Whitespace Luxury style. Elements are small and far apart, with light type and long line height. The emptiness is doing the work of expensive. Build every surface the Bare way: There is no surface at all — no fill, no line, no tint. Size, weight and distance are the only tools left. Use exactly these values: background #fefefe, surfaces #ffffff, text #1a1a19, secondary text #65655f, accent #3d3d38 with #ffffff on it; corner radius 0/2/4px; 1px solid borders; no shadows of any kind; Helvetica Neue for body at 14px, line height 1.75; 8px spacing grid, generous breathing room. Never: bold weights; dense lists; saturated color; large filled buttons. Dark mode uses background #0b0b0a, surfaces #111110, text #f4f4f1, accent #e7e7e2 — 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
- small elements far apart
- light weights
- very long line height
- emptiness as luxury
What this style refuses
- bold weights
- dense lists
- saturated color
- large filled buttons
The refusals are the half that keeps generated interfaces from converging — a prompt that only says what to add gets the default look.

Measured contrast — body 17.27:1 light, 17.87:1 dark; secondary text 5.82:1 and 7.22:1. Every pair clears WCAG AA in both themes, checked on each build.
