Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #fefefe canvas with #111111 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Inter at 32px/44.8px, weight 400, for the primary display moment.
  • Let the left-aligned visual-led hero establish hierarchy before secondary content.
  • Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Don’t

  • Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 2px is the repeated treatment on pills.
  • Do not introduce an accent hue that is absent from the captured palette.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Inter and Funnel Display and Monospace.
  • Do not add card shadows; the source separates content without repeated elevation.
