Primary text

Primary text

Observed display foreground with 18.7:1 contrast against the captured canvas.
Secondary text

Secondary text

Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 14.2:1.
Border

Border and divider

Most repeated inspectable border color.

Typography

A single-family system uses Montserrat across display and reading roles, differentiated by size and weight.

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

Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #0e121b canvas with #ffffff primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Montserrat at 47px/56.4px, weight 200, for the primary display moment.
  • Let the center-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; 3px is the repeated treatment on containers.
  • Do not introduce an accent hue that is absent from the captured palette.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Montserrat.
  • Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.
