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

Most software rounds its corners. It's 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 doesn't pretend to be a pebble; it admits it's a control you press. There's a quiet confidence in a line that simply stops where it means to. It asks you to look, not to be soothed.

It's also a discipline. When you can't 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.
