# Carbon (カーボン) — image generation prompt # IndexStyle No.525 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/carbon # Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work. An original image in the visual language of Carbon (Style, Design Systems, 2016–). Visual cues: Rectangular controls with almost no corner radius, and input fields ruled only along the bottom edge; White and #f4f4f4 surfaces stacked alternately, the ground shifting one step in value at every layer; A single blue, #0f62fe, appearing only where something can be acted on, everything else near neutral; One typeface family, IBM Plex, from display headings down to captions, with nothing else mixed in. Composition: Base the geometry on the eight pixel mini unit. Derive columns by starting at one and halving, and keep every margin and padding a whole multiple of the unit.. Type and lettering: Set everything in IBM Plex, using the tighter productive styles in product and the larger expressive styles for editorial. Pick sizes from the published steps rather than inventing them.. Material feel: Stack gray surfaces as layers and shift the ground one value step wherever a layer changes. Spend the blue only on things that can be acted on, and keep alert colors separate.. Mood: Trust, Technology, Calm. Color cues: #0f62fe, #161616, #f4f4f4. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition that follows the general period style described above. Full design spec: https://indexstyle.org/styles/carbon/design.md
