  • Automated interpretation; editorial review is pending.
  • Partial inspection: CSS requests geist mono, but those font faces were unavailable in the mid-page 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.
  • 5 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable.
  • 8 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.

Typography

The observed type system assigns Geist to display, heading, body, body-small text; Geist Mono to label text.

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

Imagery, motion & responsive

Imagery

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

Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #0a0a0a canvas with #ffffff primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Geist at 72px/68.4px, weight 400, for the primary display moment.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Start free” within the center-aligned visual-led hero.
  • Video led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Don’t

  • Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 4px is the repeated treatment on containers.
  • Do not reuse the #ffffff action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Geist and Geist Mono.
  • Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.
