mintlify.com is built on a mid-dark canvas (lab(100 0 0)).
The system uses rgb(8, 9, 10) as a near-neutral accent (low saturation).
Crisp CTAs (3.35544e+07px radius) reinforce a precise, technical aesthetic alongside inter as the primary typeface.
A restrained elevation system (3 distinct shadows) — shadows reserved for the few elements that must lift off the page.
Motion is a first-class concern — 10 keyframe animations plus transition-driven interactions.

14 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec
Do
Use inter as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality
Use negative letter-spacing (-1.152px) at display sizes for compressed, editorial headlines
Use the extracted shadow patterns for elevation — they are tuned to match the brand palette
Use Muted (`#08090a`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color
Use pill-shaped radius (9999px) for primary CTA buttons — the brand uses fully-rounded, pill CTAs
Respect the 4px–32px spacing range — the design uses a wide scale for visual breathing room
Build a content-dense footer (5 columns, ~29 links) — this site treats the footer as a sitemap, not an afterthought
Don't
Don't substitute with generic sans-serif or serif — the custom font carries the brand
Don't increase letter-spacing on headings — the type is designed to run tight at scale
Don't invent new shadow values — use only the extracted shadow levels
Don't introduce additional saturated accent colors — the palette is intentionally controlled
Don't use rectangular buttons for primary actions — the rounded pill shape is the brand standard
Don't make the nav sticky — this design lets it scroll away to maximize content focus
Don't put a CTA button in the nav — this design uses links only at the top
