rendu réel · source de vérité

posthog.com is built on a warm, off-white canvas (rgb(238, 239, 233)). The system uses rgb(205, 132, 7) as the high-saturation accent for primary actions. Crisp CTAs (4px radius) reinforce a precise, technical aesthetic alongside IBM Plex Sans Variable as the primary typeface. IBM Plex Sans Variable is paired with IBM Plex Sans for secondary roles. A restrained elevation system (2 distinct shadows) — shadows reserved for the few elements that must lift off the page. Motion is a first-class concern — 43 keyframe animations plus transition-driven interactions.

Do's & Don'ts

21 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec

Do
Use Whitesmoke (`#eeefe9`) as the page background — it's intentionally not pure white
Use IBM Plex Sans Variable as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality
Use negative letter-spacing (-0.6px) at display sizes for compressed, editorial headlines
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 #cd8407 (`#cd8407`) 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
Apply 16px 32px padding inside cards — matches the design system's content breathing room
Respect the 4px–48px spacing range — the design uses a wide scale for visual breathing room
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 13 CTAs in the hero (primary + secondary) — this design pattern is multi-action, not single-purpose
Each card uses an icon (not photo) — the visual language is illustrative, not photographic
Use a 4-column grid on desktop — density matters for this content type
Don't
Don't use pure white (`#ffffff`) as a page background — the warm tone is part of the brand identity
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 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 over-build the footer — this design keeps it minimal (1 cols, 0 links)
