Design system · v0.1
esmeA breathing practice for the nervous system. Calm you can measure.
ESME is monochrome and lunar — soft light, fog, breath. No colour: tone, light and type do all the work. These pages are the living language: tokens, primitives and layouts, ready to import into the product as @esme/*.
The rule
Monochrome only — emphasis is a brightening of light, never a hue. One ember #C66A4A is reserved for true alerts. Motion paces to breath (4 : 6 : 6); things approach on the inhale and release on the exhale. Surfaces stay flat — depth comes from fog, glow, grain and a 1px hairline, not from shadow.
