Action

Primary action

Border

Border and divider

Most repeated inspectable border color.

Typography

The observed type system assigns Inter Display to display, body, body-small text; Sans Serif to label text.

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 #8b8b8b canvas with #ffffff primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Inter Display at 48px/48px, weight 400, for the primary display moment.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Join waitlist” 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; 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 Inter Display and Sans Serif.
  • Do not add card shadows; the source separates content without repeated elevation.
