# Axiom — Style Reference
> Terminal window at midnight — flat black canvas, monospaced text, and one orange cursor blinking
**Theme:** dark
Source measurements are normalized; roles and recommendations are interpreted. Font summary lists are independent, not paired by position. HTML examples are reconstructions, not source components.
Axiom is a terminal-grade dark interface where every glyph is monospaced, every surface is near-black, and one warm orange does all the chromatic work. The design language borrows from code editors and CLI tools — no gradients, almost no shadows, no rounded softness — instead layering information through subtle shifts in dark neutrals (from #000000 canvas to #191919 cards to #202020 borders) so the UI reads like a well-formatted log file. BerkeleyMono carries the entire voice, from hero headlines to nav labels, giving the product an engineering-native feel that signals audience before it signals brand. Orange appears as a precise tool: the primary CTA fill, the log-bar visualization, and a 2px left border that marks editorial case-study cards — never decorative, always functional.
