## Typography

## Elevation & Depth

## Components

- **button:** Primary buttons use the accent blue with rounded corners (8px). Secondary buttons are outlined.
- **card:** Clean white cards with subtle borders and soft shadows.
- **chip:** Not explicitly seen, but similar UI elements have a soft, pill-shaped appearance.
- **input:** Clean, bordered text inputs.
- **hero:** Large headline and subhead with two prominent call-to-action buttons.

## Do's and Don'ts

**Don't:**
- Don't use a dark mode theme — the screenshot shows a bright, light-themed interface.
- Don't use high-contrast neon colors — the palette is dominated by soft blues and neutrals.
- Don't use sharp, 90-degree corners on cards or buttons — the screenshot shows rounded corners.
- Don't use thin, elegant serifs for the primary body text — the font is a clean humanist-sans.
- Don't use large, dense blocks of text without ample white space — the layout is open and airy.
- Don't use complex gradients as primary backgrounds — the backgrounds are mostly solid white or very subtle light blue.
- Don't use a playful or whimsical illustration style — the visuals are clean, functional, and professional.
