01 / REFERENCE

What informed the framework

The source references establish grid, palette, layering, and title-motion cues. The package translates those constraints into original code and drawings.

02 / INTERPRETATION

What is original here

The icons, component API, tokens, documentation architecture, examples, and code are new work produced for this framework.

created CARGO/19 CSS—from its visual language and component architecture to its 59-symbol icon system and documentation.

Original SVG geometry

The 59 glyphs are generated from source definitions and share one construction grammar. They are not traced from film stills or production sheets.

Modern CSS architecture

Cascade layers, focused component properties, responsive layout primitives, native dialog and popover, reduced motion, and theme scoping form the implementation.

Self-hosted manual

All visual documentation consumes dist/cargo19.css; there is no hidden documentation stylesheet. Generated pages embed the icon sprite for Safari-safe local browsing.

03 / FONT POLICY

Open sources, no bundled binaries

The default network build references official open-font families. The ZIP includes licensing routes and CSS fallbacks, not font software.
