Reference it for
- The code-forward hero: show the real API call beside its rendered output.
- A near-black dark theme with light text in three calm greys and one restrained accent.
- A precise three-face type system: display sans + UI sans + mono.
- Fast, functional CSS motion (0.15-0.2s) and Radix primitives for menus/drawers.
Do not copy
- The specific near-black palette and the green accent glow - Resend-coded.
- ABC Favorit and Commit Mono (licensed) - borrow the three-role strategy, not the faces.
- The deeply code-led voice if the client's buyer is not technical.

a "seriously playful" brand-and-motion studio that wears its personality as type, a wonky multi-alternate ANALOGUE wordmark, emoji and icon glyphs set inline in the copy, a candy-pink accent on white, and a GSAP-driven box of tricks (mexican-wave letters, glitches, bounce, float) kept just on the right side of chaos.
