Dipole Labs · Scaling intelligence with light opens with “Scaling intelligence with light.” in a left-aligned type-led hero. The homepage continues through 2 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into A new backbone for AI and Quantum, About. ## Color Light surfaces use 8 repeated semantic colors; the primary action carries the strongest interactive emphasis. | Token | Value | Role | Usage | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Canvas | `#fafaf7` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. | | Surface 1 | `#f0f5f1` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 39. | | Surface 2 | `rgba(250, 250, 247, 0.851)` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 6. | | Surface 3 | `#1f4d3a` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 1. | | Primary text | `#1f4d3a` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 9.2:1 contrast against the captured canvas. | | Secondary text | `#0f1b16` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 16.9:1. | | Action | `#1f4d3a` | Primary action | Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action. | | Border | `#e2e8e3` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. | ## Typography The observed type system assigns IBM Plex Sans to display, heading, label text; Manrope to body text. | Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | display | IBM Plex Sans | 72px | 600 | 74.88px | -1.44px | normal | none | rgb(31, 77, 58) | | heading | IBM Plex Sans | 36px | 600 | 39.6px | -0.72px | normal | none | rgb(31, 77, 58) | | body | Manrope | 18px | 400 | 29.25px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(15, 27, 22) | | label | IBM Plex Sans | 14px | 400 | 20px | 1.12px | normal | none | rgb(31, 77, 58) | ## Spacing and shape - Base unit: 4px - Density: sparse - Maximum content width: 1600px full-width canvas - Section gap: 32px - Container padding: 32px - Common spacing: `32px`, `24px`, `40px`, `14px`, `28px`, `16px`, `64px`, `12px`, `20px`, `48px` - Corner strategy: Sharp geometry is the dominant shape voice. Separation relies on borders and surface contrast rather than shadow. - Radii: Media `0px`, Buttons `0px` - Borders: `1px solid rgb(226, 232, 227)` - Shadows: `None observed` ## Layout - Macrostructure: Editorial product narrative - Hero: Type-led hero: display copy is the primary graphic - Grid: 12 columns - Footer: Utility footer with 5 actions - Reading flow: The homepage continues through 2 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into A new backbone for AI and Quantum, About. - Section sequence: A new backbone for AI and Quantum. → About ## Component grammar ### Hero Type led, left-aligned opening anchored by “Get in touch”. - Role: Opening proposition - Observed instances: 1 - Pattern: `type-led` - Alignment: `left` - Heading: `IBM Plex Sans · 72px / 600` - Media: `image-led` ### Navigation Persistent navigation with 5 visible actions in the desktop opening. - Role: Global wayfinding - Observed instances: 1 - Background: `rgba(250, 250, 247, 0.851)` - Text: `#0f1b16` - Border: `none` - Radius: `0px` - Padding: `0px 0px 0px 0px` - Type: `Manrope · 16px / 400` - Position: `fixed` - Height: `81px` ### Primary action “Get in touch” is the strongest first-viewport action by semantic intent and visual contrast. - Role: Conversion - Observed instances: 1 - Background: `#1f4d3a` - Text: `#fafaf7` - Border: `none` - Radius: `0px` - Padding: `14px 28px 14px 28px` - Type: `IBM Plex Sans · 14px / 600` ### Media frame 2 style-matched media elements were found among 3 rendered candidates; fill fitting and 0px are the most repeated treatments. - Role: Visual proof - Observed instances: 2 - Fit: `fill` - Ratios: `4.74, 1.31` - Radius: `0px` - Candidate pool: `3` ### Footer 5 visible actions close the page on a #fafaf7 surface. - Role: Closing navigation - Observed instances: 1 - Background: `#fafaf7` - Text: `#0f1b16` - Border: `1px solid rgb(226, 232, 227)` - Radius: `0px` - Padding: `0px 0px 0px 0px` - Type: `Manrope · 16px / 400` - Links: `5` ## Imagery Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration. A focused visual anchors the first viewport. - Inventory: 3 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage. - Treatment: fill fitting · square-edged frames ## Motion 12 declared keyframes and 0 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.2s, 0.3s, 0.4s. - Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable - Durations: `0.2s`, `0.3s`, `0.4s`, `1.25s`, `0.7s`, `1s` - Easings: `ease`, `ease, ease`, `ease-out`, `linear`, `ease, ease, ease, ease`, `ease, ease, ease` - Interaction states: focus, transition-all, hover, disabled, active - Reduced-motion declaration found: yes ## Responsive behavior Measured at 390 × 844. - Desktop navigation reduces from 5 visible actions to 2. - Hero alignment changes from left to center; mobile heading size is 36px. - Observed multi-column desktop regions collapse to a single-column mobile flow. - Horizontal overflow: not detected ## Do - Pair the observed #fafaf7 canvas with #1f4d3a primary copy before adding secondary surfaces. - Use IBM Plex Sans at 72px/74.88px, weight 600, for the primary display moment. - Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Get in touch” 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 media. - Do not reuse the #1f4d3a action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective. - Do not introduce extra type families beyond IBM Plex Sans and Manrope. - Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion. ## Evidence - Hero: `/captures/dipole-labs/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Hero viewport evidence; animated text state captured. - Mid-page: `/captures/dipole-labs/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 314px) — Mid-page viewport evidence; animated text state captured. - Mobile: `/captures/dipole-labs/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Mobile viewport evidence; animated text state captured. ## Confidence notes - The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup. - 4 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable. - 2 stylesheets were inspectable; 0 cross-origin stylesheets were unavailable to rule inspection. - Computed styles describe the captured render; source design tokens and proprietary font files were not copied.
