TL;DR
Sketch relies on a stark, high-contrast monochrome foundation (`#000000` text on `#ffffff` surfaces) to let its product UI and atmospheric background gradients carry the visual weight. Typography pairs the expressive, tightly tracked serif `Reckless` for display with the utilitarian `InterVariable` for body and UI. UI elements favor pronounced border radii (20px–28px for cards, 24px for buttons) and employ highly crafted, multi-layered inset shadows to create tactile depth on primary actions without relying on chromatic accents.
Target audience
