Next.js Retro-Toy Starter Template (DINK // NEXT)

A new ShipUI theme is out. If WANTED is lawless and GAMING is competitive, DINK is playful.

DINK // NEXT is a retro-toy starter built for products that earn trust by refusing to be boring. Fredoka for display text, DM Sans for body copy. Bold 3px borders, flat offset shadows, geometric toy shapes, and a cream and cobalt palette with yellow and coral accents. It looks like a toy box that ships production software.
