## Visual thesis

Light, left-aligned type-led product story with mixed geometry and video-led proof.

Quippy · The gym, but for your social life opens with “Like the gym, but for your social life, guided by Quippy.” in a left-aligned type-led hero. The homepage continues through 11 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Do any of these situations sound familiar, You're not behind. You missed the practice, What Quippy helps you with.

## Color

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

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#f0f4fb` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#ffffff` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 532. |
| Surface 2 | `#eef3fb` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 283. |
| Surface 3 | `#fffef9` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 117. |
| Primary text | `#0d1b2a` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 15.8:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#a84835` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 5.2:1. |
| Action | `#0d1b2a` | Primary action | Foreground used by the dominant first-viewport action. |
| Border | `rgba(17, 34, 34, 0.059)` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

The observed type system assigns Nunito to display, heading text; Caveat to body text; Quicksand to body-small, label text.

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Nunito | 66px | 600 | 75.9px | -1.848px | normal | none | rgb(13, 27, 42) |
| heading | Nunito | 46px | 600 | 51.52px | -0.92px | normal | none | rgb(13, 27, 42) |
| body | Caveat | 22px | 600 | 22px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(168, 72, 53) |
| body-small | Quicksand | 14px | 500 | 21.7px | 0px | italic | none | rgb(148, 163, 184) |
| label | Quicksand | 14px | 500 | 22.4px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(247, 248, 250) |

- Inventory: 42 images/canvas elements and 3 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: contain fitting · square-edged frames

- Interaction states: focus, hover, active, disabled
- 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 40px.
- Observed multi-column desktop regions collapse to a single-column mobile flow.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #f0f4fb canvas with #0d1b2a primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Nunito at 66px/75.9px, weight 600, for the primary display moment.
- Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Download Quippy on the App Store” within the left-aligned type-led hero.
- Video led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

## Don’t

- Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 999px is the repeated treatment on pills.
- Do not reuse the #0d1b2a action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Nunito and Caveat and Quicksand.
- Do not spread the observed shadow treatment across every container; keep elevation selective.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/quippy/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Visible section: Like the gym, but for your social life, guided by Quippy.

- Mobile: `/captures/quippy/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.
- 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.
