Style identity

Calm Spaces

An original browser surface inspired by Arc's current clean-and-calm language: warm paper-like canvases, soft typographic shapes, contextual Spaces and Profiles, and deliberate split or stacked browsing layouts.

Use rounded joins and generous optical whitespace. Pair space/profile symbols with labels and preserve a low-noise rail. The pack uses original CSS symbols rather than Arc's protected artwork.

Guidelines

Do

  • Make browsing context visible through Spaces, Profiles, or a quiet side rail.
  • Use warm surfaces and rounded geometry to reduce visual noise.
  • Let Split View become a deliberate stacked layout on narrow screens.
  • Keep privacy and security copy legible without alarmist styling.
  • Use mono labels sparingly for context metadata and technical detail.

Don't

  • ×Do not copy Arc or Dia logos, source screenshots, or proprietary page copy.
  • ×Do not use a dense dashboard as a stand-in for browser context.
  • ×Do not fill every surface with gradients or shadows.
  • ×Do not hide the current Space or Profile state.
  • ×Do not let two-column desktop layouts overflow on mobile.

Imagery

Use original CSS browser frames, paired panes, abstract calm color fields, and small context icons. Avoid live Arc/Dia screenshots, product logos, and downloaded campaign images.

Layout

Use 1160px maximum width with 24px desktop and 16px mobile gutters. Keep the browser or paired panes visually primary; collapse split layouts to a stacked reading order below 720px and maintain a persistent context cue.

Concept

A complete visual language, ready to inspect.

Use the file tree to move between the full reference preview, implementation guidance, portable tokens, and framework-ready styles. Each surface stays focused, so you can understand the system before copying code.
