Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #e6e0fc canvas with #171321 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Instrument Serif at 60.8px/63.84px, weight 400, for the primary display moment.
  • Let the center-aligned stacked hero establish hierarchy before secondary content.
  • Product ui media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Don’t

  • Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 35px 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 Instrument Serif and Figtree Variable and JetBrains Mono Variable.
  • Do not spread the observed shadow treatment across every container; keep elevation selective.
