Tana — Design System
Tana thinks in serif: Source Serif 4 at 72px/500 in warm ink #0C0805 on paper #FBFBFB ('Do work in the meeting'), Inter for the 17-22px working text and 14px-radius ghost buttons. Node-graph UI and AI-agenda panels sit inside generous editorial whitespace — a knowledge tool typeset like the long-form thinking it wants to hold.
