Ordering.co Design Guidelines v1.3.1
Foundations make confidence repeatable.
The shared visual and behavioral decisions beneath brand expression and product UI. Start here before inventing a local solution.
01 / The system at work
One identity. Two working rhythms.
Visual expression is spacious and editorial. Product is compact and task-led. The same foundations keep both recognizably Ordering.co.
Follow the numbered markers into the text alternative. The specimen identifies which shared decisions remain stable as the context changes.
Make the operating system visible.
One message, one system relationship and one useful action.
Delivery exceptions
Review affected routes and assign the next action.

Editorial hierarchy
Large Inter type and negative space establish the message before supporting detail.
- 2
Meaningful system object
Routes and nodes represent a relationship; they are not scattered brand decoration.
- 3
Product density
Quiet structure, 32px controls and explicit rows keep the interface task-led.
- 4
Accessible state
A fixed indicator is paired with readable text and a clear next action.
02 / Choose by result
Find the foundation in a real decision.
Each preview links to the chapter where that decision is explained in context. Technical values follow after the examples.
Core identity
The recognizable elements that make every Ordering.co artifact feel related.
Color
See Action Blue, adaptive neutrals and semantic state in context.
Typography
See Inter and JetBrains Mono doing two distinct jobs.
Human first.

Iconography
See the governed Lucide contract inside a familiar toolbar.
Logo
Choose and use the supplied masterbrand asset without reconstruction.
System behavior
The rules that keep the identity coherent when interfaces become complex.
Layout & spacing
See editorial rhythm and product density share one grid logic.
Motion
See cause, transition and result without losing the static meaning.
Accessibility
See keyboard focus as part of the component, not a final overlay.
03 / Technical reference
Implement the decision through one contract.
After choosing the right behavior by example, follow the governed path into reusable interface code.
Tokens → semantic roles → Ordering.co componentsOpen the implementation map only after the visual and behavioral decision is clear.
Token primitives
Raw, portable values
Semantic roles
Purpose across themes
Component tokens
Local component decisions
Ordering.co UI
Governed wrappers
Implementation boundary: Base UI behavior primitives sit beneath Ordering.co wrappers. Applications consume Ordering.co UI rather than importing those primitives throughout product code.
