## Visual thesis

Dark, center-aligned visual-first product story with sharp geometry and image-led proof.

Meteoric — Drones That Clear Clouds Over Solar Farms opens with “Drones that clear clouds over solar farms” in a center-aligned visual-led hero. The homepage continues through 11 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into How it works, Uplift potential \*, Team.

## Color

Dark surfaces use 7 repeated semantic colors; hierarchy is carried mainly by tonal contrast.

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#19202c` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#1a2230` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 64. |
| Surface 2 | `#161c26` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 63. |
| Surface 3 | `#1f2a3b` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 62. |
| Primary text | `#ffffff` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 16.4:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#b9c4d2` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 9.3:1. |
| Border | `rgba(230, 236, 243, 0.161)` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

A single-family system uses DM Sans Variable across display and reading roles, differentiated by size and weight.

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | DM Sans Variable | 29px | 400 | 39.15px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(255, 255, 255) |
| heading | DM Sans Variable | 73.6px | 500 | 78.016px | 0.736px | normal | none | rgb(255, 255, 255) |
| body | DM Sans Variable | 15.5px | 400 | 25.575px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(185, 196, 210) |
| body-small | DM Sans Variable | 13.5px | 400 | 21.9375px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(147, 162, 181) |
| label | DM Sans Variable | 13px | 400 | 19.5px | 1.69px | normal | none | rgb(255, 251, 244) |

## Spacing and shape

- Base unit: 4px
- Density: sparse
- Maximum content width: 1600px full-width canvas
- Section gap: 48px
- Container padding: 28px
- Common spacing: `28px`, `9px`, `14px`, `48px`, `22px`, `150px`, `12px`, `36px`, `38px`, `13px`
- Corner strategy: Sharp geometry is the dominant shape voice. Separation relies on borders and surface contrast rather than shadow.
- Radii: Inputs `3px`, Containers `3px`, Buttons `3px`, Media `0px`
- Borders: `1px solid rgba(230, 236, 243, 0.161)`
- Shadows: `None observed`

## Layout

- Macrostructure: Visual marquee narrative
- Hero: Visual marquee: imagery carries most of the opening surface
- Grid: 2 columns
- Footer: Minimal closing footer
- Reading flow: The homepage continues through 11 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into How it works, Uplift potential \*, Team.
- Section sequence: How it works → Uplift potential \* → Team → Open up the skies over your solar plant → Drones deploy near the solar plant → Fly into low and mid-altitude clouds → Alter the cloud droplets → Reduce cloud reflectivity → Allow more sunlight to reach the solar panels → Mete Karslioglu → Eric Nilsson

## Component grammar

### Hero

Visual led, center-aligned opening anchored by the primary message.

- Role: Opening proposition
- Observed instances: 1
  - Pattern: `visual-led`
  - Alignment: `center`
  - Heading: `DM Sans Variable · 29px / 400`
  - Media: `image-led`

### Navigation

Persistent navigation with 4 visible actions in the desktop opening.

- Role: Global wayfinding
- Observed instances: 1
  - Text: `#ffffff`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `0px 44px 0px 44px`
  - Type: `DM Sans Variable · 16px / 400`
  - Position: `fixed`
  - Height: `76px`

### Form control

3 style-matched form control instances were found among 3 candidates; properties describe the dominant observed cluster.

- Role: Input and selection
- Observed instances: 3
  - Background: `#141a24`
  - Text: `#ffffff`
  - Border: `1px solid rgba(230, 236, 243, 0.161)`
  - Radius: `3px`
  - Padding: `13px 14px 13px 14px`
  - Type: `DM Sans Variable · 16px / 400`
  - Candidate pool: `3`

### Media frame

2 style-matched media elements were found among 10 rendered candidates; cover fitting and 0px are the most repeated treatments.

- Role: Visual proof
- Observed instances: 2
  - Fit: `cover, fill`
  - Ratios: `2.00, 1.00, 2.42, 1.25, 0.98`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Candidate pool: `10`

### Footer

2 visible actions close the page on a transparent surface.

- Role: Closing navigation
- Observed instances: 1
  - Text: `#ffffff`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `0px 0px 0px 0px`
  - Type: `DM Sans Variable · 16px / 400`
  - Links: `2`

## Imagery

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

- Inventory: 9 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: cover fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

0 declared keyframes and 0 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.3s, 0.2s.

- Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable
- Durations: `0.3s`, `0.2s`
- Easings: `ease`, `ease, ease`
- Interaction states: hover, focus
- Reduced-motion declaration found: yes

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- Desktop navigation reduces from 4 visible actions to 1.
- Hero remains center-aligned; mobile heading size is 21px.
- Observed multi-column desktop regions collapse to a single-column mobile flow.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #19202c canvas with #ffffff primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use DM Sans Variable at 29px/39.15px, weight 400, for the primary display moment.
- Let the center-aligned visual-led hero establish hierarchy before secondary content.
- Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

## Don’t

- Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 3px is the repeated treatment on inputs.
- Do not introduce an accent hue that is absent from the captured palette.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond DM Sans Variable.
- Do not add card shadows; the source separates content without repeated elevation.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/meteoric/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Visible section: Drones that clear clouds over solar farms · How it works
- Mid-page: `/captures/meteoric/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 2231px) — Visible section: Team
- Closing: `/captures/meteoric/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 4241px) — Visible section: Open up the skies over your solar plant
- Mobile: `/captures/meteoric/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Visible section: Drones that clear clouds over solar farms · How it works

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- 2 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable.
- 1 stylesheet was 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.
