Body text

Lead paragraph.Body text sits at the backbone of any interface — if it reads well, everything else has a chance. If it doesn't, nothing else matters.

Standard paragraph at the body size. Type hierarchies work best when the jump from body to subheading is clear but not disruptive — around 1.25-1.5× works across most contexts. Inline elements like a link, inline code, emphasis, strong, and highlighted text should all feel native to the kit.

Small / caption text — used for metadata, timestamps, descriptions under labels. Usually 14px or slightly smaller.

## Overview

Modern Minimal is a restrained product-UI design language: Inter type, neutral
grays, a single blue accent, and gentle rounded corners. It reads as current
without chasing trends and works for dashboards, SaaS marketing, and internal
tools.

## Colors

- Pure white background with a very-light-gray surface for elevation.
- Slate-900 ink for headings and slate-500 for body copy / metadata.
- A single blue accent for primary actions and links. Everything else is
  neutral.

## Typography

- Inter at 15-17px for body, tightened letter-spacing on headings for a modern
  feel.
- Clear hierarchy: 44/30/20/16px for h1/h2/h3/body.

## Usage

Reach for Modern Minimal when the brief says "clean" or "SaaS-looking". Pair
with subtle shadows (never harsh), 10-16px corners, and lots of whitespace. Keep
the accent to roughly 5% of the UI surface.
