Style identity

Black Grid

A restrained framework-onboarding system where docs discovery, a first command, feature proof, and nested layout ideas sit inside a near-black technical grid.

Guidelines

Do

  • Give Docs/search a first-class place beside onboarding actions.
  • Use Geist-like tight display type with generous breathing room.
  • Show the create-next-app command as a useful copyable surface.
  • Make grid rules supplementary; content must remain readable without them.

Don't

  • ×Do not create a noisy dashboard from the feature list.
  • ×Do not use acid green for every link or decorative line.
  • ×Do not make the grid or construction marks the main content.
  • ×Do not copy Next.js or Vercel copy, logo geometry, screenshots, or assets.

Imagery

Prefer original CSS grid geometry, neutral diagrams, and tiny code cues. Do not use Next.js logos, screenshots, site illustrations, or Vercel assets.

Layout

Center the first framework promise and two actions, then expand into feature tiles and proof. Keep docs search in the header; at 390px stack hero, command, and features in one readable axis.

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.
