Description

Rounded, puffed-up 3D forms in pastel color — controls that look pressed from soft clay, with thick edges, inner light and a squishy sense of give. Toylike and friendly without becoming childish.

Custom Style Items

Clay Volume
Each form uses a lighter inner top gradient, darker base, and ambient-occlusion contact shadow.
Edge Highlight
Wrap a subtle inner-top highlight around every clay container to reinforce thickness.
Elevation Rhythm
Overlap forms slightly and stagger floating heights rather than aligning to a rigid grid.
Press Response
Controls squash slightly on press, then overshoot and rebound; state-change icons wobble.
