# Skeuomorphic

Real-world textures and physical metaphors made literal.

## What it is

Skeuomorphic interfaces imitate physical objects — stitched leather, felt, real switches — to make digital controls feel familiar. Rich and tactile, but heavy.

## When to use

Playful, nostalgic, or craft-led products where the metaphor delights rather than distracts.

## When not to

Information-dense or fast-moving apps where realism adds visual noise and slows comprehension.
