Gantry is a restrained cockpit language for working close to a machine that should not be a hero. Thick black gutters, pale HUD hairlines, one amber callout — and a great deal of quiet dark.
Restraint before density. Only the marks an operator needs to orient, judge state, and weigh consequence stay visible.
The deep void is active material. At least one dark corridor stays empty at every viewport, so scale and machine distance read before any detail.
Thick black gutters frame warm off-white technical sheets against one graphite aperture — narrative sequencing without a single illustrated character.
Amber is the only saturated colour, reserved for callout numbers, leader endpoints, and faults. Pale blue-white carries every HUD hairline.
A printed technical sheet beside a live terminal — the same scene the language was built to hold.
The gantry carries the torso module while the spine is pulled for alignment. Each fragment trails a numbered leader to its own annotation — read the machine in pieces, never as a poster.
Deep void, warm sheet, matte hardware — and the three highlighter accents that carry every signal.
Gantry ships as design tokens, a shadcn theme, and three reference compositions — every signature pattern recolours from one set of role variables.
