## Frame Rules

Single Accent

#### Do

- Start every frame on warm cream; cobalt carries every accent.
- Set headlines near-black with −0.02em tracking; eyebrows cobalt, uppercase, 0.08em.
- Render every numeral in cobalt Space Grotesk 600–700.
- Use tinted cards — 4% fill, 20% border, 10–14px radius; soft, never outlined.
- Pill chrome at 100px; body in Inter 400, muted gray, line 1.6.

#### Don't

- No second accent color; no cobalt headlines.
- No drop shadows (save the one soft cobalt CTA hover).
- No square corners; no opaque cobalt borders.
- No font substitutes; no uppercase body.
- Don't fill space with heavier borders — add substance, not noise.
