Fair patterns

Also: bright patterns

Designs that actively protect the user's interest — the constructive counterpart to dark patterns.

Fair (or ‘bright’) patterns are the mirror image of dark patterns: clear pricing, honest defaults, visible odds, frictionless cancellation, spend caps, and reality checks. They are the practical menu of remedies a studio can adopt as a design-review standard.
