Design System

SCreated by Sofia Lindqvist

Compass is Northlight's design system: tokens, primitives and patterns shared by Driftline and Beacon.

Principles

  1. 1.Semantic first โ€” components consume tokens, never raw values.
  2. 2.Dense by default โ€” Driftline is a tool, not a brochure.
  3. 3.Motion explains โ€” animation only when it carries meaning.

New component proposals need a usage audit: three real screens that need it today.
