The eleven HIG text styles. SF Pro across the board, with Display optical sizing kicking in around 20 px. Apple favors weight over size jumps — Headline and Body share a size; only the weight changes.

Accent Colors

Thirteen system colors. Click any chip to set it as the active accent — the entire app re-skins live, including the sidebar selection, focus rings, and Liquid Glass tints.

Labels & Fills

One palette, four opacities. Secondary/tertiary aren't separate grays — they're black or white at reduced opacity, which makes the same tokens read correctly over any surface or material.

App Icons

Every macOS app icon is a squircle with a 22 % corner radius. These are placeholder squircles tuned to feel adjacent to the system without recreating the real artwork.
