Looks

Words

All learned. See them in History.

• Airy

  Lots of empty space around and between things, so each part has room to breathe.

• Bold

  Strong contrast: big heavy headings, saturated colors and clear dark lines.

• Calm

  Gentle contrast: muted colors, medium-weight headings and nothing shouting for attention.

• Chunky 3D button

  A button with a solid, darker strip under it (a shadow with no blur), so it looks like a real key you can push.

• Cool

  Colors lean toward blue and gray.

• Dark premium

  Near-black backgrounds, hairline borders, soft glows and fading gradient text.

• Dense

  Things sit close together with little space between them, so more fits on one screen.

• Edge fade

  A row, list or picture that fades to transparent at its edges, so it melts into the background instead of being cut off with a hard line.

• Editorial

  Big serif headlines, thin lines between sections and layouts built for reading, like a magazine or newspaper.

• Glassmorphism

  See-through panels that blur whatever is behind them, with a thin light edge.

• Minimal

  Lots of white space, few colors and quiet thin text.

• Neo-brutalism

  Thick black outlines, hard shadows with no blur and loud flat colors.

• Playful

  Bright saturated colors, very round corners, chunky buttons and bouncy motion.

• Sharp

  Square corners with no rounding.

• Soft

  Round corners on cards and buttons, often with pill-shaped buttons.

• Warm

  Colors lean toward red, orange and yellow: sand, cream and amber.
