# Design system

No complete product design system has been published. The confirmed design direction is an atlas experience in which landscapes, history, civilization, and place remain connected.

## Directional constraints

- Place should carry context, not function only as a navigation pin.
- Geographic presentation should leave room for history and civilization rather than flattening them into decoration.
- Any future country edition should inherit a coherent series structure while retaining its own source context.
- Important facts should remain readable as text and should not exist only inside maps or images.

## Unknowns

Typography, color, cartographic style, map provider, component rules, motion, accessibility behavior, and country-edition variation are not confirmed.
