What

A standalone specimen of the Geist / Vercel kit. Tokens, type, space, and a few atoms. The page a future DESIGN.md will point at.

Why

Agents and humans need to see the system, not only read it. CRAFT is the bar. This file is the look.

Not

Not a component gallery. Not a learning-lab shell. Not a second type scale or a fifth accent.

Motion

Felt, not watched. Transform and opacity only.
