What it does
Cyan-on-dark heroes, uniform card grids, glassmorphism on everything, Inter at 16px — you've shipped it and your users noticed. This loads the frameworks working designers actually use: proportional systems for sizing, type scales built from ratios, palettes constructed from the colour wheel, composition that creates an anchor instead of uniform mush, distilled from Design for Hackers. It gives the model better material, not automatic taste, and its typographic assumptions are Latin-script. No licence file was found.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
