  • Automated interpretation; editorial review is pending.
  • Partial inspection: CSS requests inter, sfmono-regular, but those font faces were unavailable in the hero frame. Screenshots show browser fallback; font tokens describe declared families, not verified glyph faces.
  • Partial inspection: CSS requests inter, but those font faces were unavailable in the mid-page frame. Screenshots show browser fallback; font tokens describe declared families, not verified glyph faces.
  • Partial inspection: CSS requests inter, but those font faces were unavailable in the closing frame. Screenshots show browser fallback; font tokens describe declared families, not verified glyph faces.

  • Partial inspection: CSS requests sfmono-regular, inter, but those font faces were unavailable in the mobile frame. Screenshots show browser fallback; font tokens describe declared families, not verified glyph faces.
  • Animated or layered text alternatives were detected; the analysis records the most visually prominent state at capture.
  • The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
  • 7 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable.
  • 6 stylesheets were inspectable; 0 cross-origin stylesheets were unavailable to rule inspection.
  • Computed styles describe the captured render; source design tokens and proprietary font files were not copied.

Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #f3f0ec canvas with #1a1a19 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Inter at 52px/56.16px, weight 500, for the primary display moment.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Book a demo” within the left-aligned split hero.
  • Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Don’t

  • Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 9999px is the repeated treatment on pills.
  • Do not reuse the #1a1a19 action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Inter.
  • Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.
