Do's & Don'ts

21 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec

Use Off-White (`#f3f0ee`) as the page background — it's intentionally not pure white

Use Near-Black (`#141413`) for text — not pure black, it's warmer and more readable

Use mccom as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality

Use negative letter-spacing (-1.28px) 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 Coral (`#f37338`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color

Use 99px border-radius on primary buttons — the brand uses generously-rounded CTAs

Respect the 4px–32px 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 right — text and visual share equal weight

Include exactly 2 CTAs in the hero (primary + secondary) — this design pattern is multi-action, not single-purpose

Build a content-dense footer (4 columns, ~27 links) — this site treats the footer as a sitemap, not an afterthought

Don't

Don't use pure white (`#ffffff`) as a page background — the warm tone is part of the brand identity

Don't use pure black (`#000000`) for text — the near-black adds warmth

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 use sharp-cornered or pill buttons — 99px is the CTA border-radius standard
