> Design in the spirit of Vuetify by Vuetify Team — Material Design Component Framework for Vue.js with over 100 components. Character: Material's grammar translated to Vue: Roboto ramps, elevation stacks, and a theme engine the community bends to anything. Use a primary colour near #1867c0, the typeface "Roboto" (or a close equivalent), corner radius around 2px, a spacing rhythm on a 4px base. Match the intent, not the pixels; adapt it to my product rather than cloning it.
