## Philosophy

Dot strips every non-essential element. One brand color, one typeface, zero
secondary surfaces. The constraint is the feature.

## Colors

- **brand (#111111):** used for all interactive elements and headings.
- **surface (#FAFAFA):** page canvas with near-white warmth.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do let content carry the visual weight.
- Don't introduce additional colors.
