## What it is
Restyle is a type-enforced styling system for building UI components in React Native with TypeScript, focused on themability and design-system consistency. It provides utilities like createBox, createText, and variants for building themed component libraries.

## Use cases
- build a themed design system for a React Native app
- enforce consistent spacing and colors in React Native components
- create type-safe UI component libraries in TypeScript
- support dark mode and theme switching in React Native
- define reusable component variants like card styles
- replace ad-hoc inline styles with a structured styling system

## When to choose
- you are building a React Native app or component library on a defined design system
- you want compile-time type safety for style props and theme values
- you need themability, responsive breakpoints, and variants out of the box

## When to avoid
- you are building for the web rather than React Native
- your project has no design system and you prefer free-form styling
- you need a full prebuilt component kit rather than a styling foundation
