Building Wayfinding Systems
Retro Interface Primer
Principles
- Use generous whitespace and single-pixel rules.
- Prefer uppercase kickers and typewriter pacing for headings.
- Keep accent moments to underlines and hover states.
Checklist
- Audit new components for contrast on pure black and white.
- Keep animations subtle—think cursor blinks, not fireworks.
- Export assets with dithering if images are required.
