Frame

Dark-first cinema-tooling landing for the Adobe-acquired video collaboration platform. FrameGothic carries the entire brand voice in three weights; a single cobalt accent appears only where the page wants you to click. Restraint as identity — the product UI screenshots are the spectacle, the page is the calm before the cut.

Dark-first cinema-tooling canvas. Pure #000 ground for product UI screenshots, off-white #fcfcfc primary text, slate #eaeaff alpha for de-emphasised reading layers. Typography carries the entire personality: FrameGothic Variable (400/500/600) handles UI + body, NeueMachinaInktrap as a display-only voice for marketing headlines. Cobalt #6199f6 is the sole functional accent — CTAs, active states, focus rings — kept under 2% of surface. Elevation is restrained: 4 shadow variants total, mostly subtle inset/drop combos that feel like product chrome. Motion is expressive but never decorative — 10 transitions calibrated for product-feel scrub interactions.
Main prompt
Use this capture as a design language transfer brief for my project. Adopt the palette (dark-first #000 canvas + #fcfcfc primary text + #eaeaff alpha descender + single cobalt #6199f6 accent at <2% surface), single-family typography discipline (FrameGothic Variable in weights 400/500/600 for everything, NeueMachinaInktrap reserved for display moments only), 4px-base spacing scale with heavy use at 4/6/8/10/12/16, 1068px content rail inside 1440px hero canvas, restrained 4-variant shadow system, expressive but disciplined motion (10 transitions, weighted easings, no decorative animation), and 389/768/897/1158/1500 breakpoint ladder. Treat this as my project's constitution — every new component should pass as if engineered in the same studio. Apply the language, not the source brand's copy or identity. When I ask you to build a page or component, enforce these rules by default and call out any deviation.
Layout
Single-column reading flow on a dark canvas, with product UI screenshots breaking out of the content rail for cinematic full-bleed moments.
Content width
1068px content rail centred inside 1440px hero canvas; screenshots may break out to 1440 for emphasis.
Framing
Dark-room cinema with restrained typography setting the tone before any UI screenshot loads.
Grid strength
Light grid — 4px base unit governs spacing but is invisible to the eye; reading rhythm comes from typography size jumps rather than grid lines.

Pure #000 ground holds the page; #fcfcfc primary text + #eaeaff alpha descender carry reading; single cobalt #6199f6 accent earns attention by scarcity.

Mode strategyDark-only — no light-mode variant inferred. Theme toggle would betray the brand.
  • #000000 is the only background colour — no charcoal, no near-black, no off-shades
  • #fcfcfc primary text 60% of the type surface, #eaeaff alpha for secondary copy and metadata
  • #6199f6 cobalt accent exclusively on CTAs, focus rings and active nav states (under 2% total surface)
  • #0d0d18 used sparingly for elevated surfaces (cards, hover states) — visible only by contrast

Gradients (paste-ready)

10 gradients catalogued, all atmospheric — soft cobalt light leaks at hero edges, never as fill
  • FrameGothic Variable is the sole interface family — UI labels, body copy, navigation, captions, all 400/500/600 weights only
  • NeueMachinaInktrap appears only in display headlines (32px+) and brand mark — never below 24px
  • Reading copy sits at 13-15px, optical adjustments preserved at small sizes
  • Line-height 1.4-1.5 for body, 1.05-1.15 for display — tight stack respects the small reading size
  • Letter-spacing left at 0 for body; -0.01em to -0.02em for display headlines only
  • 4px base unit, heaviest use at 4/6/8/10/12/16px increments
  • Section vertical rhythm: 80-120px between major content blocks
  • Card internal padding: 16-24px standard; CTA padding: 14px vertical / 24px horizontal
  • Avoid spacing values above 64px inside the content rail — keep the reading dense
Surface styleCards float subtly above the #000 ground via 1px hairline borders + thin drop shadows; no atmospheric blur or glassmorphism.
  • 4 shadow variants total — keep the system contained
  • Hover state: 1-2px Y translate + shadow opacity bump from 0.12 to 0.18
  • Active/pressed: shadow opacity drops to 0.08 + 1px inset highlight on top edge
  • Modal/dialog: heavier shadow (0 24px 60px rgba(0,0,0,0.45)) + 1px border on the surface

Techniques

Cinematic card

1px hairline rgba(255,255,255,0.06) + drop shadow 0 8px 24px rgba(0,0,0,0.35); no inner glow.

Hairline-only divider

Inline borders use rgba(234,234,255,0.08) — visible but never demanding attention.

Scroll patterns

  • Fade-in + 16px upward translate on viewport entry (one-shot, no parallax)
  • Sticky nav darkens by 4% opacity after 80px scroll
  • Reserve animation for state changes — no decorative idle motion
  • Respect prefers-reduced-motion: collapse to opacity-only fades
  • Hover lifts cards subtly — never floats them
  • Focus rings use the cobalt accent at full saturation + 2px offset
  • Active state inversion: button bg drops 8% lightness, text stays #000
Approachmobile-first

Custom ladder (389/768/897/1158/1500) tuned to the FrameGothic optical sweet spots, not the Tailwind defaults.

  • <768: single column, 16px gutter, no break-out
  • 768-1158: content rail 720-960px, no full-bleed
  • ≥1158: full 1068 rail + 1440 hero break-out moments
  • WCAG AA contrast minimum on body text (#fcfcfc on #000 is 18.9:1)
  • Focus-visible rings on every interactive element
  • Cobalt accent on dark passes AA for UI text (4.8:1)
Next.js (preload woff2 fonts visible in extraction)Variable font subsettingWebP product UI screenshots

Product UI screenshots dominate the visual content; illustration is absent — typography is the visual.

  • Variable fonts preloaded with rel=preload + woff2 format
  • Product UI captures rendered at retina resolution
  • Use FrameGothic for everything — UI, body, captions, nav
  • Reserve the cobalt accent for true call-to-action moments
  • Let product UI screenshots be the spectacle, not decorative imagery
  • Keep the page dense — 13-15px body is a feature, not a bug
  • Don't introduce a second sans family — single-family discipline is the brand
  • Don't paint surfaces in cobalt — it bleeds the prestige
  • Don't add decorative idle animation — motion belongs to state changes
  • Don't lighten the background — pure #000 is non-negotiable
  • Dark-only — no light mode variant
  • FrameGothic family only — secondary display reserved for display sizes
  • Accent under 2% of surface — measure before shipping
  • Font-family grep: only `FrameGothic` and `NeueMachinaInktrap` appear
  • Background colour grep: only `#000000` for the page ground (allow #0d0d18 for cards only)
  • Accent colour count: cobalt appears in fewer than 5 surfaces per viewport
  • Body text size: every instance falls in 13-15px range
  • Shadow variants total: <= 4 distinct values site-wide
