How This Works

When applied to an existing project, follow this sequence:

  1. Scan — Read the codebase. Identify the framework, styling method (Tailwind, vanilla CSS, styled-components, etc.), and current design patterns.
  2. Diagnose — Run through the audit below. List every generic pattern, weak point, and missing state you find.
  3. Fix — Apply targeted upgrades working with the existing stack. Do not rewrite from scratch. Improve what's there.

Design Audit

Typography

Check for these problems and fix them:

  • Browser default fonts or Inter everywhere. Replace with a font that has character. Good options: Geist, Outfit, Cabinet Grotesk, Satoshi. For editorial/creative projects, pair a serif header with a sans-serif body.
  • Headlines lack presence. Increase size for display text, tighten letter-spacing, reduce line-height. Headlines should feel heavy and intentional.
  • Body text too wide. Limit paragraph width to roughly 65 characters. Increase line-height for readability.
