## Visual thesis

Dark, center-aligned type-led product story with rounded geometry and image-led proof.

VIM · Robot cell recovery, without the wait opens with “When a robot cell stops, VIM gets it running again.” in a center-aligned type-led hero. The homepage continues through 7 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into The same fault, without VIM, From alarm code to clear action, The troubleshooting loop, closed.

## Color

Dark surfaces use 8 repeated semantic colors; the primary action carries the strongest interactive emphasis.

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#0a0a0a` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#000000` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 75. |
| Surface 2 | `#0e0e0e` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 67. |
| Surface 3 | `#0b0e0e` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 39. |
| Primary text | `#f5f5f5` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 18.2:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#9a9a9a` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 7.0:1. |
| Action | `#4ade80` | Primary action | Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action. |
| Border | `#1c1c1c` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

The observed type system assigns Archivo to display, heading text; IBM Plex Sans to body, label text.

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Archivo | 80px | 700 | 83.2px | -2.8px | normal | none | rgb(245, 245, 245) |
| heading | Archivo | 70px | 700 | 73.5px | -2.45px | normal | none | rgb(245, 245, 245) |
| body | IBM Plex Sans | 18.125px | 400 | 29.9062px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(154, 154, 154) |
| label | IBM Plex Sans | 5.5px | 400 | 8.25px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(111, 120, 115) |

## Imagery

Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration. A focused visual anchors the first viewport.

- Inventory: 5 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: fill fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

3 declared keyframes and 25 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.15s, 1.6s, 1.2s.

- Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable
- Durations: `0.15s`, `1.6s`, `1.2s`, `0.5s`, `0.6s`, `0.4s`
- Easings: `ease`, `ease, ease`, `ease, ease, ease`, `ease-in-out`, `linear`, `cubic-bezier(0.22, 0.61, 0.36, 1)`
- Interaction states: hover, focus
- Reduced-motion declaration found: yes

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- Desktop navigation reduces from 5 visible actions to 2.
- Hero remains center-aligned; mobile heading size is 39px.
- Primary content reads as a single-column mobile flow.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #0a0a0a canvas with #f5f5f5 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Archivo at 80px/83.2px, weight 700, for the primary display moment.
- Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Watch the incident” within the center-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; 50px is the repeated treatment on pills.
- Do not reuse the #4ade80 action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Archivo and IBM Plex Sans.
- Do not spread the observed shadow treatment across every container; keep elevation selective.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/dawn-industries/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Hero viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mid-page: `/captures/dawn-industries/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 4539px) — Mid-page viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Closing: `/captures/dawn-industries/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 8858px) — Closing viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mobile: `/captures/dawn-industries/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Mobile viewport evidence; animated text state captured.

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- No same-origin breakpoint declarations were inspectable; mobile behavior was measured directly.
- 1 stylesheet was inspectable; 1 cross-origin stylesheet was unavailable to rule inspection.
- Computed styles describe the captured render; source design tokens and proprietary font files were not copied.
