What’s notable: Dark-mode-first marketing site (rare and confident — most sites design light-first and bolt on dark mode). Inter as the primary typeface across UI and marketing, with Inter Display for headlines. Floating pill nav, near-black backgrounds with subtle hue shifts, single purple accent. Heavy use of scroll-driven animation and frequent feature reveals — but never gratuitous.

Why this matters as a reference: proof that dark-default can read as premium and modern, not gimmicky. The discipline of one typeface family across the whole product is unusual at this level of polish.
