Radix UI pioneered the headless primitive: Dialog, DropdownMenu, Tooltip, and Tabs ship behavior and accessibility only, with the skin entirely yours. The official aesthetic shows near-black (#161618) surfaces with crisp white text, tightly tracked Inter, 8px radii, hairline borders at low white opacity, and high-contrast focus rings driven by data-state styling. Made for teams building design systems on a behavior-only base.
