Ideal for landing pages, modern websites. AI-ready template. The pie chart has been around since 1801. The donut chart fixed it. That hollow center isn't decorative — it solves a real perceptual problem. When you remove the convergence point where all slices meet, you eliminate the visual noise that makes pie charts so notoriously hard to read. The eye stops comparing acute angles and starts comparing arc lengths instead. Easier. Faster. Less lying to yourself about what 23% versus 27% actually looks like. Circular data visualization works when you're showing parts of a whole — and only then. The moment you need precise comparison between categories, reach for a bar chart. But for proportion? For completion? The ring is unbeatable. Apple understood this when they designed the Activity Rings for Watch. Three concentric donuts, each tracking progress toward a daily goal. No labels needed. No legend. Just color and arc length doing all the work. That interaction pattern — radial progress as motivation — reshaped how an entire generation thinks about circular data. The donut went from corporate dashboard staple to something people check forty times a day on their wrist. - Density: 5/10 — Balanced - Variance: 2/10 — Structured - Motion: 6/10 — Expressive - **Style:** Infographic - **Keywords:** Central radial diagram, donut chart, flat vector iconography, dotted connector lines, numbered list, thick framing border, symmetrical, informative - **Era:** Modern Infographic - **Light/Dark:** ✓ Full / ✓ Full ## Colors - **White** (#FFFFFF) — Light surface, card backgrounds - **Dark Text** (#333333) — Dark surface, primary background - **Deep Teal** (#005E7F) — Accent highlight, links and focus states - **Magenta** (#D91A8C) — Decorative accent, highlight elements - **Red** (#E61E25) — Error states, destructive actions - **Orange** (#E88817) — Warm accent, call-to-action secondary - **Green** (#58B062) — Success states, positive indicators - **Blue** (#009DDC) — Secondary accent ## Typography - **Display / Hero:** System UI stack (-apple-system, sans-serif) — Weight 700, tight tracking, used for headline impact - **Body:** System UI stack (-apple-system, sans-serif) — Weight 400, 16px/1.6 line-height, max 72ch per line - **UI Labels / Captions:** System UI stack (-apple-system, sans-serif) — 0.875rem, weight 500, slight letter-spacing - **Monospace:** JetBrains Mono — Used for code, metadata, and technical values Scale: - Hero: clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem) - H1: 2.25rem - H2: 1.5rem - Body: 1rem / 1.6 - Small: 0.875rem ## Layout - **Grid:** CSS Grid primary.
