Color system

Light surfaces use 8 repeated semantic colors; the primary action carries the strongest interactive emphasis.

Primary text

Secondary text

Secondary text

Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 16.9:1.
Action

Primary action

Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action.
Border

Border and divider

Most repeated inspectable border color.

Typography

The observed type system assigns IBM Plex Sans to display, heading, label text; Manrope to body text.

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

Imagery, motion & responsive

Imagery

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

Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #fafaf7 canvas with #1f4d3a primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use IBM Plex Sans at 72px/74.88px, weight 600, for the primary display moment.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Get in touch” 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; 0px is the repeated treatment on media.
  • Do not reuse the #1f4d3a action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond IBM Plex Sans and Manrope.
  • Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.
