  1. A palette from one colour

    Light and dark ramps in OKLCH, and every step says what text it can carry.

    Design tools on Tokens
  2. A type scale in a minute

    Pick a ratio and see it on real text. Fluid between two widths, if you like.

  3. Spacing that snaps

    T-shirt, linear or geometric, on your grid.

  4. Dark gets its own values

    Edit Dark in Dark. Light never notices.

Brand Book

Guidelines people actually open

This is the real Brand Book, drawn live for a sample brand. Try each layout, and Dark.

Editorial. A cover, then a long magazine read.

Larkspur · Brand Book · v2.4.0
Drawing the book…
  1. Five layouts, one book

    Docs, Editorial, Board, Chapters or Spec sheet. Readers can switch if you let them.

    See the Brand Book
  2. Arranged your way

    Drag sections, choose each one’s view, Comfortable or Compact.

  3. Never out of date

    Every release rebuilds it, in your own tokens.

  4. Public when you’re ready

    Make it public and your Community page becomes the book.

the photo

Measured by the Review’s own code on the Card in Stoaken’s Figma test file. Figma sent a photo; until one is uploaded Stoaken draws a placeholder, and the score says so.

  1. Variables, both ways

    Approved releases land as Figma variables. Your edits come back for review.

    The Figma plugin
  2. Components that look right

    Auto layout, styles, text and variants, carried over property by property.

  3. A score, not a promise

    Each one measured against Figma’s own picture, with a score.

  4. Icons, both ways

    Your icons arrive as Figma components. Figma icons come back for review.

Your way of working

A workspace that starts with the design

  1. The Creative view

    Your colours, Brand Book, icons and components first. Developer tools wait lower down.

    Choose a view
  2. A short tour on every screen

    Spotlight shows what each part does, once. Turn it off any time.

  3. Move fast before 1.0

    With velocity, only breaking changes wait for review.
