06 · Typography
Red Hat Display on display · Inter for everything else
Heading and body families are profile tokens, not app-level font aliases.
--brandOS-font-heading - H1 · Display The system in practice
- H2 · Section 5 brands, one system
- H3 · Card Profile contract
--brandOS-font-body - Lede A clear, generous opening that orients the reader fast.
- Body Standard paragraph text. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
- Caption Small print, footnotes, and metadata.
07 · Primitive check
Same components, both modes
One mockup, one set of components — data-theme flips every token in unison.
08 · Imagery rules
How ControlBus looks at the world
- 01
Show routing, controls, telemetry, and work-state visibility before abstract infrastructure visuals.
- 02
Keep screens dense, legible, and operational, with clear active and exception states.
- 03
Use blue-forward signal color intentionally so controls remain crisp against cool neutral surfaces.
