System prompt

This is a premium agency website characterized by an ultra-clean, minimalist aesthetic and expansive whitespace. The primary colors are stark white (#FFFFFF) and near-black ink (#1A1A1A), with light grays (#F2F2F2, #949495) used for subtle background contrast and muted text. The typography is strictly modern grotesque-sans, featuring very large, left-aligned display headings (55px) with tight negative letter-spacing (-0.825px). Critical design rules include: avoid any use of vibrant accent colors (the palette is strictly monochromatic), avoid decorative serifs or playful fonts, avoid cluttered grids or heavy drop shadows, and maintain generous, asymmetric vertical rhythm. Use slow, smooth (1s) opacity transitions for reveals and faster (0.3s) transitions for interactive states.
