Subframe — Design System
Subframe makes its case in pure Inter at poster scale: 'Ship what you design.' at 96px/700 in ink #171717 on #FCFCFC, standfirsts at 48px, body at a generous 24px. Charcoal 16px-radius buttons and editor screenshots complete a page with zero typographic exotica — a UI-builder arguing that with enough craft, the system font of the internet is all you need.
This is a static, crawlable rendering for search & AI engines. The interactive version — filters, live decode console, copy & export — is at https://mozaika.design/ds/subframe.
Tokens
Subframe's decoded design system: background #FCFCFC, text #232323, accent #9CA3AF, link #9CA3AF, primary #FF0000; type scale h1 96px / h2 12px / body 48px; 4px spacing base; 6px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #EDEDED — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.
