Ant Design
Ant Design / 2015– / Style / Platform Screen Languages
A design system that keeps enterprise web applications at low entropy through reusable components and page patterns. Its values — Natural, Certain, Meaningful and Growing — systematize tables, forms, hierarchy and state without reducing information density.
Dense tables set in small type and fine rules / Blue primary actions with explicit semantic colors / Consistent forms, pagination, trees and tables / Readability achieved through alignment and repetition, not generous space
