Design system · Phase 1

One quiet system gives dense information room to work.

Six core inks, signed market states, an 8-point spacing scale, one interface radius, and three elevation levels form the visual contract for dhawal.org.

01 · Color

Amber identifies the desk. It never reports profit or loss.

Direction always has a sign or neutral mark, so color is never the only cue.

02 · Spacing

Every layout step resolves to an 8-point rhythm.

1x8px--space-1x
2x16px--space-2x
3x24px--space-3x
4x32px--space-4x
5x40px--space-5x
6x48px--space-6x
8x64px--space-8x
10x80px--space-10x
12x96px--space-12x

03 · Radius

Four pixels is enough to soften chrome without making it playful.

Circle--radius-round · indicators only

04 · Elevation

Hairlines establish hierarchy before shadows do.
