Azimuth — paper-and-ink design system.

A neutral, editorial visual language extracted from Road to Berlin and made product-agnostic. Tokens, type, icons, and fonts — no JS runtime, no framework lock-in.

Principles

• Quiet by default. One signal accent, ink-on-paper neutrals, hairline borders. The data is the hero.
• Editorial typography. Geist for sans, JetBrains Mono for numerics and labels. Tight tracking on headlines, generous tracking on eyebrows.
• 4 px rhythm. Spacing scale is a 4-pixel base. Radii are 4 / 14 / 999.
• Two themes, one surface. prefers-color-scheme with a [data-theme] override. Tokens resolve at the root.
• Tokens, not classes. Consume var(--_) in your own CSS. Utility classes are a thin convenience layer.
