System B: Bloomberg command grid
Historical DNA
- Information hierarchy over decoration.
- Color as strict semantics, not brand mood.
- Persistent context bars and dense market tables.
Brand fit for war.market
Best for trust, legibility, and "serious capital" posture while staying fast.

Typography
- Sans for headlines and prose
- Mono for numbers, symbols, timestamps
- Tight numerical alignment and tabular rhythm
Spatial grammar
- Framed modules with title bars
- 12-column desktop grid
- 4px radius max for controls
- Dense but consistent row heights
Component grammar
- Top status strip: session, chain, auth, latency
- Main center: sortable market table with clear row states
- Right rail: execution ticket (bet slip)
- Secondary panel: position and risk snapshots
Interaction rules
- Primary workflow is row select -> side select -> size -> execute
- Hotkeys for navigation and submit are visible
- Inline validation near fields, not only toast
- Use compact label language, never marketing phrasing
Mobile adaptation
- Table becomes ranked list cards with key metrics first
- Bet ticket remains sticky/pinned near viewport bottom
- Expandable detail blocks replace multi-column metadata
Motion and effects
- Functional transitions only
- No decorative glow/noise overlays
- Emphasize state change with text + icon + color
Anti-patterns
- Cinematic hero backgrounds
- Oversized typography that hides data
- Accent colors used without semantic meaning
Signature pattern
Top status strip + dense, sortable market board + fixed execution ticket.
