Do's & Don'ts

16 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec

Do
Use ui-sans-serif as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality
Use negative letter-spacing (-2.4px) at display sizes for compressed, editorial headlines
Use the extracted shadow patterns for elevation — they are tuned to match the brand palette
Use Near-Black (`#111111`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color
Use 6px border-radius on buttons — the standard corner rounding for interactive elements
Maintain nav height at 42px — consistent vertical space for the navigation bar
Make the hero full-viewport (≥70% screen height) — this design uses an immersive hero, not a tall navbar
Build the hero as a split layout with media on the left — text and visual share equal weight
Include exactly 6 CTAs in the hero (primary + secondary) — this design pattern is multi-action, not single-purpose
Repeat the primary CTA across 4 banner sections — conversion paths are layered, not single
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 collapse or hide the nav on scroll without an explicit scroll-triggered animation — the design uses fixed nav presence
Don't make the nav sticky — this design lets it scroll away to maximize content focus
