Linear

Near-black canvas, one electric accent, everything set tight.

What to steal

  1. 01Never pure black. #08090a reads as dark without the harshness, and lets true black exist as a shadow.
  2. 02One accent hue, used maybe four times per page. The restraint is what makes it look expensive.
  3. 03Negative letter-spacing on headings and a very small type scale — three sizes doing all the work.
  4. 04Product screenshots are cropped to a single feature rather than a whole window, so each one makes one claim.

Notes

The reference for dark product marketing. Almost every SaaS site copies the surface of this — the gradient, the glow — and misses the actual discipline underneath: a tiny type scale, one accent, and a lot of empty space held at exactly the same rhythm down the page.

Useful to me for landing pages, not for anything personal. It is a beautiful machine, and it is not warm.
