Kagi. Private reading room.

  • SaaS
  • Light theme

Kagi — private reading room. The interface uses an expansive white canvas, near-black type, and centered editorial compositions that make search feel like a quiet utility rather than an advertising surface. Lufga’s rounded geometric forms carry large, weight-600 headlines and compact navigation, while purple links and pastel product panels introduce color only at ecosystem touchpoints. Dark graphite bands invert the system for FAQs and the footer, with restrained shadows reserved for the search field and framed product screens.
