Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #a7bac8 canvas with #010a0f primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Instrument Sans at 73.6px/75.808px, weight 450, for the primary display moment.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Book a call” within the left-aligned type-led hero.
  • Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Don’t

  • Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 0px is the repeated treatment on inputs.
  • Do not reuse the #b5f0b3 action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Instrument Sans and Geist Mono.
  • Do not add card shadows; the source separates content without repeated elevation.
