## Do's and Don'ts

**Don't:**
- Don't use serif fonts — screenshot shows a geometric sans-serif for all text.
- Don't use dark mode as the default — screenshot shows a predominantly white and light-gray interface.
- Don't use sharp, square corners on primary elements — screenshot shows heavily rounded pills and soft radii.
- Don't use high-contrast, saturated red or green for accents — screenshot uses a muted lavender as the primary accent.
- Don't center-align all text — screenshot uses left-alignment for body copy and feature descriptions.
- Don't use drop shadows for depth — screenshot uses very subtle, low-opacity borders or flat color differences for separation.

## System Prompt (paste into AI agent)

```
Aave is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol landing page designed to look like a premium, accessible fintech mobile app. The design DNA is built on a foundation of geometric sans-serif typography, a high-contrast black-on-white color palette, and a single vibrant lavender (#9787FF) accent for primary actions. The layout is clean, spacious, and centered around a massive hero headline. Critical constraints: always use a fully rounded 'pill' shape for primary buttons, keep the interface strictly light-themed with soft off-white backgrounds, and maintain extreme typographic hierarchy with tight letter spacing on large display text. Never introduce cluttered borders, dark backgrounds, or non-geometric font styles.
