One shape, the square
The only curve on a page is the disc in the logo, so the logo is never echoed and never competes. A square corner also reads as paper, which suits a firm whose work is documents. Below are the same photograph, tile and buttons at three corners, so the choice can be judged by eye.
Refused. The framework's stock corner,
What happens when I buy a property
- Every corner is square: photographs, tiles, buttons, fields and the quote.
- Nothing casts a shadow. Depth is carried by a change of ground or by a line.
- The logo's disc is the only curve, and nothing on a page repeats it.
One weight of line, at three strengths
A hairline separates. An edge says something can be pressed or typed into, so it has to be seen. A mark in Tan, at twice the weight, picks out the quote and the run of a sequence. The focus ring is ink on every ground, because red is kept for the action.
- A hairline is decoration and carries no meaning alone, so it is free to be faint.
- An edge and the focus ring carry meaning, so each holds 3 to 1 or better against every ground.

The quote is quiet, and lifts where it has room
The framework styles every quote it finds. Its stock quote has a red line, a grey ground and a rounded corner, which breaks three rules this system has already made.

Every quote below is the same bare markup with no class on it.

What goes into the dashboard
Each line is a real setting in Automatic CSS 4.0.1 and the value to enter. The mark is not a token of its own. It is the framework's border, at twice its weight, in Tan, written where it is used. The rule that lifts the quote is an Etch style, and its source is etch-styles.css.
