Why E-Ink Design Matters
In a world of saturated colors and overwhelming visual noise, there's profound beauty in simplicity. E-ink design strips away everything unnecessary, leaving only the essential: black ink on white paper.
"The absence of color is not a limitation—it's a liberation."
This aesthetic draws from centuries of print design wisdom. The Kindle, Remarkable tablet, and newspaper layouts all embrace these principles: generous whitespace, readable typography, and restrained visual hierarchy.
CORE PRINCIPLES
- 01. Black and white only. Gray sparingly.
- 02. Typography carries the design.
- 03. Whitespace is not empty space.
- 04. Every element must earn its place.
