Components
Retro Screen Interface
Inspired by vintage CRT monitors, old-school operating systems, and early digital interfaces. These components bring the nostalgic charm of retro computing to modern web applications with crisp borders, monospace typography, and that unmistakable old-screen aesthetic.
Buttons
Bold, tactile buttons with sharp borders and hover states reminiscent of early GUI systems.
Form Fields
Clean input fields with monospace fonts and sharp borders for that terminal-like feel.
Text Areas
Multi-line input fields perfect for messages and longer form content.
Typography
Monospace fonts and bold headings that echo the era of dot-matrix printers and CRT displays.
Themed Variations
Components adapt to different color themes while maintaining their retro character. The coral theme showcases how the same components transform with inverted colors, white borders, and scanline overlays for that authentic CRT monitor feel.
Themed Buttons
Inverted color scheme with white borders and text on coral background.
Themed Form Fields
Input fields with white borders that stand out on colored backgrounds.
Risograph Print Aesthetic
Beyond the digital screen look, this kit embraces the beautiful imperfections of risograph printing. The grainy textures, subtle color overlaps, and organic feel of print media bring warmth and authenticity to your interfaces—like a freshly printed zine from an indie press.
Color Overlays
Layered colors that blend and interact like real ink on paper.
Paper Texture
Subtle grain and noise that mimics the feel of printed materials.
Ink Bleed Effect
Soft edges and slight bleeding that gives text an organic, printed quality.
Combine the precision of digital interfaces with the soul of analog print.
Why this kit?
As a child, I was captivated by the worlds of Blade Runner, Star Wars, and the cyberpunk aesthetic of William Gibson's Neuromancer. These stories painted futures that felt both gritty and beautiful—where technology had character and interfaces told stories.
Today's web design has become predictable. Every AI-generated site looks the same: clean, minimal, and soulless. I created this UI kit to bring back the fun and personality that made those retro-futuristic interfaces so memorable.
