About Honkai: Star Rail
A design system taken from the menus of Honkai: Star Rail, miHoYo's 2023 turn-based RPG about a train that crosses the stars. Pages sit on a deep navy starfield. Structure comes from 1px gold hairlines, concentric orbit rings and small diamond markers, and cards are framed like collectible Light Cones.
Hierarchy comes only from size and colour: one medium weight of Barlow and Noto Sans SC throughout, star-gold for the action that matters, teal for whatever is charged and ready.
