Why a cast?
A character system grew out of the V3 engine and turned into a small family with names and opinions.
“A friendly face is the cheapest UX research you can do.”
[Replace with the real iconkind founding story. The system started as a V3 capability for putting characters into scenes — a technical thing. It became a brand because the characters had personalities before they were finished.]
What it is
iconkind is a character system: archetypes, slots, and named members of a cast. Each character is built from the same six parts, and yet each one is its own little person.
Why it exists
Because every product page wants a friendly face, and stock illustration always feels generic. We needed characters with continuity — characters that recur, grow, get fonder.
Where it lives
iconkind is the brand. The technical system is character.iconkind in Qx V3. Same characters, different surfaces.
