Secondary text

Secondary text

Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 1.5:1.
Action

Primary action

Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action.

Typography

The observed type system assigns Inter Variable to heading, body, body-small text; Sans Serif to label text.

Metric previews use the observed CSS values. Source font files are not bundled, so unavailable families fall back locally.
heading

The phones, the schedule, and the parts. One workflow.

Imagery, motion & responsive

Imagery

Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #402c23 canvas with #ffffff primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Preserve the first viewport’s existing display-to-body scale contrast.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Get a demo” within the left-aligned type-led hero.
  • Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Don’t

  • Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 999px is the repeated treatment on pills.
  • Do not reuse the #306eff action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Inter Variable and Sans Serif.
  • Do not spread the observed shadow treatment across every container; keep elevation selective.
