A single scale creates rhythm: 4px base, doubling landmarks, consistent application.

Principles#

Adopt the Nakshora scale as law: micro gaps 1–2, component padding 4–6, section rhythm 12–24. When spacing feels wrong, it is almost always a scale jump of more than one step.

Applied#

  • Apply it to your next feature, not a mythical redesign
  • Encode the decision as a token or component
  • Write one paragraph of team guidance
  • Audit an existing page against the principle
