Chomp

Chomp is a design system that drops the user straight into the glow of an arcade cabinet. It is built from chunky pixel typography, a midnight-blue cabinet background, and electric primary colors that buzz like a CRT at full brightness. Every edge is hard, every shadow is a solid block, and the whole thing is snapped to an 8-pixel grid. Reach for Chomp when you want playful, nostalgic, high-energy fun — game sites, launches, event pages, and brands that want visitors to feel like they just dropped a coin in the slot and the marquee lit up.

Design principles

• Everything snaps to an 8px pixel grid — no half-pixels, no blur, no anti-aliased curves.
• Hard edges only: 0px radius and chunky solid borders that read like a sprite outline.
• Color is loud and primary — neon yellow, pink, green, and cyan against deep midnight blue.
• Shadows are stacked solid blocks, never soft glows, mimicking layered pixel art.
• Type is pixel-perfect: bitmap-style fonts at sizes that keep letterforms crisp and blocky.
• Lean into the cabinet: scanlines, blinking cursors, coin glyphs, and "PRESS START" energy.
• Limit the palette per screen so the neons stay punchy and the color-coding reads clearly.
