The design language

The design feels like a creative void, a deep space canvas where ideas materialize as glowing forms. An absolute black (#000000) background serves as this void, making every piece of content feel like it's emitting light. Hierarchy is achieved not through shadows or solid grays, but through layered translucency — panels and buttons are semi-transparent white overlays, creating a glassmorphism effect. The custom Spline Sans typeface is used universally at normal weights, giving headings a confident but understated presence. A single, energetic Spline Blue (#0062ff) is reserved for primary actions, acting as a focused beacon in the minimalist dark environment.

Guidelines

Do

  • Use Void Black (#000000) as the universal background. Never use solid grays.
  • Achieve depth and hierarchy using translucent white overlays (e.g., rgba(255,255,255,0.08)), not shadows.
  • Reserve the vibrant Spline Blue (#0062ff) exclusively for primary call-to-action buttons.
  • Use a 24px radius for large panels/cards and a 12px radius for buttons.
  • Set all UI text, including headlines, in Spline Sans at a 400 or 500 font weight.
  • Maintain generous whitespace between sections (approx. 96px) to let content breathe.
  • Pair any imagery or illustrative elements with the core accent palette (Neon Pink, Golden Orb, Violet Haze).

Don’t

  • Don't use drop shadows or box shadows for elevation.
  • Don't introduce new saturated colors for UI elements beyond the primary Spline Blue.
  • Don't use bold (700+) font weights; rely on size and color for typographic hierarchy.
  • Don't use fully opaque gray backgrounds for any component.
  • Don't use inconsistent corner radii; stick to the 12px/24px/pill system.
  • Don't outline buttons or inputs with solid borders; use translucent fills instead.
  • Don't place text directly on complex background imagery without a text protection scrim or overlay.

Secondary buttons and interactive surfaces

Elevation is achieved through layered glassmorphism, not shadows. Surfaces are defined by varying opacities of white (e.g., rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.08) for panels) on the pitch-black #000000 background. This creates a sense of depth through emitted light rather than cast shadow, reinforcing the 'glow in the void' aesthetic.

Layout & imagery

Layout

The layout leads with a full-bleed, immersive hero section with centered text over an animated visual background. Subsequent content is contained within a centered, max-width (approx. 1280px) column. The page structure is a simple vertical stack of sections separated by generous whitespace (96px+). Content is often arranged in multi-column grids, such as the 5-column community showcase and the multi-column logo marquee, to display information densely but cleanly.

Imagery

The visual language is split between abstract and concrete. The hero features amorphous, glowing 3D shapes that are purely atmospheric, setting a futuristic and creative tone. Below this, the imagery switches to product-focused showcases: a grid of thumbnails displaying user-generated 3D scenes and designs. All imagery serves to demonstrate the tool's capabilities, either by evoking creative possibility (abstract) or showing tangible results (showcase). There is no lifestyle photography; the product and its output are the heroes.
