Brand System
How this documentation applies the Ambient brand kit to typography, color, diagrams, and screenshot presentation.
Design Direction
The documentation is a working product manual for Ambient Desktop, not a decorative landing page. It uses the Ambient wordmark, a restrained technical layout, actual product screenshots, and SVG diagrams that explain architecture and maturity.
Presentation Standards
- Product screenshots appear when a surface exists, with Roadmap and In Development surfaces labeled explicitly.
- SVG diagrams explain systems, trust boundaries, routing, loops, and deployment flows.
- The palette stays anchored in Ambient cyan, signal blue, verification green, warning gold, white, and ink.
- The site avoids decorative gradients, vague stock imagery, and unsourced implementation claims.
