## Visual thesis

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

Vernius — Low-Cost Radar Seekers for C-UAS opens with “Low cost radars for interceptors” in a center-aligned visual-led hero. The homepage continues through 4 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into The vast majority of interceptors are still manually piloted, Beyond-visual-range guidance. Autonomous or operator-assisted, Low-cost, high-performance CUAS radars.

## Color

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

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#0b0a0a` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#0c0d0a` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 60. |
| Surface 2 | `#111111` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 49. |
| Surface 3 | `rgba(9, 9, 9, 0.949)` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 5. |
| Primary text | `#f0e8d8` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 16.2:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#999999` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 6.9:1. |
| Action | `#c8b89a` | Primary action | Foreground used by the dominant first-viewport action. |
| Border | `#1a1a1a` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

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

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Inter | 72px | 700 | 75.6px | -1.8px | normal | none | rgb(240, 232, 216) |
| heading | Inter | 60px | 700 | 75px | -1.5px | normal | none | rgb(139, 154, 107) |
| body | Inter | 18px | 400 | 29.25px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(153, 153, 153) |
| body-small | Inter | 15px | 400 | 24.375px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(153, 153, 153) |
| label | Inter | 11px | 400 | 16.5px | 2.2px | normal | none | rgb(85, 85, 85) |

## Spacing and shape

- Base unit: 8px
- Density: sparse
- Maximum content width: 1600px full-width canvas
- Section gap: 48px
- Container padding: 24px
- Common spacing: `24px`, `16px`, `48px`, `20px`, `8px`, `12px`, `80px`, `32px`, `10px`, `6px`
- Corner strategy: Sharp geometry is the dominant shape voice. Separation relies on borders and surface contrast rather than shadow.
- Radii: Containers `10px`, Media `0px`
- Borders: `1px solid rgb(26, 26, 26)`, `1px solid rgba(200, 185, 155, 0.200)`, `1px solid rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.800)`, `1px solid rgb(200, 184, 154)`, `1px solid rgba(200, 183, 155, 0.180)`
- Shadows: `None observed`

## Layout

- Macrostructure: Visual marquee narrative
- Hero: Visual marquee: imagery carries most of the opening surface
- Grid: 3 columns
- Footer: No footer detected
- Reading flow: The homepage continues through 4 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into The vast majority of interceptors are still manually piloted, Beyond-visual-range guidance. Autonomous or operator-assisted, Low-cost, high-performance CUAS radars.
- Section sequence: The vast majority of interceptors are still manually piloted. → Beyond-visual-range guidance. Autonomous or operator-assisted. → Low-cost, high-performance CUAS radars. → Archimedes 1A

## Component grammar

### Hero

Visual led, center-aligned opening anchored by “Learn More”.

- Role: Opening proposition
- Observed instances: 1
  - Pattern: `visual-led`
  - Alignment: `center`
  - Heading: `Inter · 72px / 700`
  - Media: `image-led`

### Navigation

Persistent navigation with 6 visible actions in the desktop opening.

- Role: Global wayfinding
- Observed instances: 1
  - Background: `rgba(9, 9, 9, 0.949)`
  - Text: `#f0e8d8`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `0px 0px 0px 0px`
  - Type: `Inter · 16px / 400`
  - Position: `fixed`
  - Height: `65px`

### Primary action

“Learn More” is the strongest first-viewport action by semantic intent and visual contrast.

- Role: Conversion
- Observed instances: 1
  - Text: `#c8b89a`
  - Border: `1px solid rgb(200, 184, 154)`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `14px 32px 14px 32px`
  - Type: `Inter · 12px / 400`

### Media frame

2 style-matched media elements were found among 8 rendered candidates; cover fitting and 0px are the most repeated treatments.

- Role: Visual proof
- Observed instances: 2
  - Fit: `cover, contain, fill`
  - Ratios: `3.30, 1.60, 1.99, 0.77, 0.97`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Candidate pool: `8`

## Imagery

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

- Inventory: 8 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: cover fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

2 declared keyframes and 8 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.3s, 0.2s, 0.5s.

- Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable
- Durations: `0.3s`, `0.2s`, `0.5s`, `0.7s`, `1s`, `2s`
- Easings: `ease`, `ease-out, ease-out`, `ease-out`, `ease-in-out`
- Interaction states: transition-all, hover, focus
- Reduced-motion declaration found: yes

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- Desktop navigation reduces from 6 visible actions to 2.
- Hero remains center-aligned; 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 #0b0a0a canvas with #f0e8d8 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Inter at 72px/75.6px, weight 700, for the primary display moment.
- Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Learn More” within the center-aligned visual-led hero.
- Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

## Don’t

- Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 10px is the repeated treatment on containers.
- Do not reuse the #c8b89a action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Inter.
- Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- 3 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.
