Do's & Don'ts

20 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec

Use Near-Black (`#292827`) for text — not pure black, it's warmer and more readable

Use Super Sans VF as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality

Use the extracted shadow patterns for elevation — they are tuned to match the brand palette

Use full-pill radius (9999px) only for specific elements (avatars, pills, toggles)

Use Lavender (`#d4c7ff`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color

Use 8px border-radius on buttons — the standard corner rounding for interactive elements

Apply 16px padding inside cards — matches the design system's content breathing room

Use 16px border-radius on cards — consistent with the grid card corners

Maintain nav height at 42px — consistent vertical space for the navigation bar

Respect the 4px–32px spacing range — the design uses a wide scale for visual breathing room

Each card includes a top image — imagery is part of the card identity, not optional

Repeat the primary CTA across 2 banner sections — conversion paths are layered, not single

Don't

Don't use pure black (`#000000`) for text — the near-black adds warmth

Don't substitute with generic sans-serif or serif — the custom font carries the brand

Don't invent new shadow values — use only the extracted shadow levels

Don't apply pill radius on rectangular buttons or cards — it's reserved for specific interactive elements

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

Don't put a CTA button in the nav — this design uses links only at the top
