Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #f0f4fb canvas with #0d1b2a primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Nunito at 66px/75.9px, weight 600, for the primary display moment.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Download Quippy on the App Store” within the left-aligned type-led hero.
  • Video 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 #0d1b2a action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Nunito and Caveat and Quicksand.
  • Do not spread the observed shadow treatment across every container; keep elevation selective.
