Introducing Rhea, a new shadcn/ui style. A more compact Luma. Smaller spacing. Denser surfaces. Built for focused product interfaces.

Rhea started from a simple request we've heard a lot: Luma, but more compact. We looked at how people were using the new styles and what they were asking for, and the pattern was clear. A lot of teams wanted the softness and shape of Luma with tighter spacing, smaller controls, and more information density.
|
||||
|
||||
Rhea keeps the same rounded foundation, but makes it more compact for product interfaces where space matters. Buttons, inputs, menus, cards, and lists all sit a little tighter so the UI can carry more without feeling crowded.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why a new style?
|
||||
|
||||
We considered making this a spacing tweak for Luma, but `--spacing` is a multiplier. Changing it would change what familiar utilities mean across your app. `p-2`, `w-4`, and `m-16` would no longer mean the same size.
|
||||
|
||||
That tradeoff felt wrong. Compactness should not force you to relearn Tailwind's spacing scale or wonder whether a utility means something different in one style than another.
|
||||
|
||||
So Rhea is a new style instead. It lets us adjust component sizes, gaps, and density directly while keeping the underlying utility scale predictable.
|
||||
|
||||
Available now in [shadcn/create](/create) for both Radix and Base UI.
