Unity

Measures how well elements of your design work together to communicate an idea

Why it matters

Unity is why a well-made screen feels calm before you can say what is on it — the radii agree, the spacing repeats, the type family holds. Users read that coherence as competence and trust it; they read the opposite as three teams shipping three products into one window. It is also the cheapest quality signal you can buy: no new features, just the same decisions made everywhere.

Same content, same layout — the broken version only changes fonts, radii, and colors, and the card stops feeling like one thing.
