## Visual thesis

Dark, center-aligned compact product story with soft geometry and image-led proof.

Mochi: 1 Minute Anime opens with “Every Monster Thinks I'm Their Landlord” in a center-aligned compact hero. The homepage continues through 4 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Top 10 today, New releases, Coming soon.

## Color

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

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#1c1f20` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#191c1e` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 571. |
| Surface 2 | `rgba(17, 18, 19, 0.722)` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 117. |
| Surface 3 | `#0e1012` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 100. |
| Primary text | `#ffffff` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 16.6:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#edeff1` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 14.4:1. |
| Action | `#99ea68` | Primary action | Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action. |
| Border | `#2c3034` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

The observed type system assigns Bricolage Grotesque to display, heading, label text; Inter to body, body-small text.

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Bricolage Grotesque | 27px | 800 | 28.35px | -0.675px | normal | none | rgb(255, 255, 255) |
| heading | Bricolage Grotesque | 17px | 800 | 23.8px | 0.68px | normal | none | rgb(214, 218, 221) |
| body | Inter | 14px | 500 | 19.6px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(237, 239, 241) |
| body-small | Inter | 13.5px | 400 | 18.5625px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(180, 186, 191) |
| label | Bricolage Grotesque | 11px | 700 | 11px | 0.66px | normal | none | rgb(255, 255, 255) |

## Spacing and shape

- Borders: `1px solid rgb(44, 48, 52)`, `1px solid rgb(51, 51, 51)`, `1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.502)`, `1px solid rgb(16, 18, 20)`, `1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255)`
- Shadows: `None observed`

## Layout

- Macrostructure: Editorial product narrative

- Grid: 6 columns
- Footer: Index footer with 9 actions
- Reading flow: The homepage continues through 4 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Top 10 today, New releases, Coming soon.
- Section sequence: Top 10 today → New releases → Coming soon → All series

## Component grammar

### Hero

Compact, center-aligned opening anchored by “Watch now”.

- Role: Opening proposition
- Observed instances: 1
  - Pattern: `compact`
  - Alignment: `center`
  - Heading: `Bricolage Grotesque · 27px / 800`

## Imagery

Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration. Multiple visual elements share the first viewport.

- Inventory: 206 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: cover fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

11 declared keyframes and 0 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.15s, 2s, 1.1s.

- Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable
- Durations: `0.15s`, `2s`, `1.1s`, `0.2s`, `0.3s`, `38s`, `45s`, `15s`
- Easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`, `linear`, `ease-out`, `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1)`, `cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.2, 1)`, `ease-in-out`, `ease-out, ease-out`
- Interaction states: disabled, hover, active, transition-all, focus
- Reduced-motion declaration found: yes

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- The same 4 visible navigation actions remain at mobile width.
- Hero remains center-aligned; mobile heading size is 27px.
- 1 multi-column content region remains on mobile.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #1c1f20 canvas with #ffffff primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Bricolage Grotesque at 27px/28.35px, weight 800, for the primary display moment.
- Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Watch now” within the center-aligned compact hero.
- Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

## Don’t

- Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 6px is the repeated treatment on containers.
- Do not reuse the #99ea68 action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Bricolage Grotesque and Inter.
- Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/mochitv/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Hero viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mid-page: `/captures/mochitv/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 3579px) — Mid-page viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Closing: `/captures/mochitv/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 6938px) — Closing viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mobile: `/captures/mochitv/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Mobile viewport evidence; animated text state captured.

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- 6 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.
