It featured shadows, gradients, and textures to emulate physical elements, often criticized for its excessive visual mimicry.

It employs soft shadows, subtle highlights, and background depth to create a tactile, almost \”soft-touch\” appearance, offering a futuristic yet familiar visual aesthetic.
