  • Base, elevated colors.
  • 4 materials for card background, thick/regular/thin/ultrathin. Vibrancy support.
  • SF Symbols. Weights. Vector based. Mac app.
  • Modal presentation card. New default. Use when “mode” changes, like calendar presenting a Create Event controller from the main list of events.
