Kardo · Space Island Redesign

Kardo

Your cards stop being tiles and become objects you want to hold: material, light, lettering and a little wear.

Brand · KartA brass card with an engraved inline k, and a lowercase “kardo” with the same inline cut, in Strata gold.
Light that movesFoil, lacquer, metal and pearl catch the light as you tilt. Thumb the stack and it parts.
Lift to payA card lifts, turns to its barcode at full brightness, with a quiet history beneath.
Whose card?The Richmond household is one stack. Long-press or pinch to fan it.
Mint a cardThe scan reads barcode, its colour palette, finish and lettering, then mints it.
Scan with a nameA Richmond card printed “Deniz Yılmaz” fills in Deniz as the cardholder and joins the household.
Edit a cardColour, finish, lettering and tags, previewed live. Each typeface shows the whole name, fitted to one line.
Any colourSwatches are sampled from the card; the colour well opens the iOS picker. Any colour derives its own gradient, edge and foil.
Search by meaningbookshop, vitamins, uzay, 2792: each finds its card.
PatinaRichmond, out 212 times, is rubbed at its edges and corners. The name, holder and digits stay crisp.
DustWaterstones has gathered dust. Brush it off; Kardo asks if you still need it.
Patina and dust in SettingsA switch and a strength for each, previewed live, and one tap to clean every card.
Arrive at WaterstonesA Lock Screen notice with the card itself. One press shows the barcode.

Search on a real iPhone, all on-device: when a card is added, Apple's on-device model (Foundation Models) writes a few category tags for the store; NLEmbedding matches what you type to those tags by meaning; a small bundled list of common chains covers older phones.

Move the mouse over the phone to tilt it. Esc goes back, type to search, ←→ switch person.
