n8n.io is built on a near-black canvas (rgb(14, 9, 24)).
The system uses rgb(163, 163, 163) as the singular interactive color.
Sharp 0px corners on CTAs — architectural restraint, engineering precision alongside geomanist as the primary typeface.
A layered elevation system (6 distinct shadows) building a clear front-to-back hierarchy.
Motion is a first-class concern — 10 keyframe animations plus transition-driven interactions.

Do's & Don'ts
19 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec
Do
Use dark background (`#0e0918`) as the foundation — this is a dark-mode-native design
Use geomanist as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality
Keep font weights between 300-500 — the system uses a narrow weight range for subtle hierarchy
Use negative letter-spacing (-0.96px) at display sizes for compressed, editorial headlines
Use the extracted shadow patterns for elevation — they are tuned to match the brand palette
Use Grey (`#a3a3a3`) 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
Maintain nav height at 58px — 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
Show person avatars with testimonials — social proof is human-centric here
Don't
Don't use light backgrounds — the dark canvas is the native medium
Don't substitute with generic sans-serif or serif — the custom font carries the brand
Don't use weight 700 (bold) or above — 500 is the maximum weight in this system
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
