Adobe reveals new design language coming to over 100 Adobe apps.

Adobe has unveiled the next generation of its Spectrum design system — the framework that governs Adobe app design, akin to Google’s Material You.

Spectrum 2 is intended to make apps more approachable and accessible, with key design components having first previewed in Adobe Express. The Spectrum 2 updates are first set to roll out across Adobe web products in “early 2024.”
