Why we set border-radius to zero (and kept it there)

Most software rounds its corners. It is the safe choice - friendly, soft, inoffensive. We went the other way and set every corner in the studio to a hard ninety degrees.

Sharp edges are honest. A square button does not pretend to be a pebble; it admits it is a control you press. There is a quiet confidence in a line that simply stops where it means to. It asks you to look, not to be soothed.

It is also a discipline. When you cannot hide behind a soft radius, the spacing, the type, and the rhythm have to carry the design on their own. Constraints like this keep us honest - which, for a studio that keeps the character for truth on its wall, feels about right.
