Dark gray (#101010) background. Slightly warmer than pure dark. The surface (#1A1A1A) adds a barely-lighter layer. Dark on darker. The white text at full brightness (#FFFFFF) creates maximum contrast. No muted whites. No gray text for primary content. Full white. Because on a dark background, anything less than full brightness makes text feel like a whisper.

Inter at weight 700 for headings with tight letter-spacing (-1.5px). Bold and compressed. The headings feel like section headers in a well-organized README. Strong enough to anchor dense technical content. At 16px base with a 1.25 type scale, the system keeps size jumps modest. No dramatic headlines. Just clear, bold structure.

Body text at regular weight (400) with 1.63 line height is generous. That extra breathing room between lines is critical for documentation on dark backgrounds. Dark mode text needs more leading than light mode text because the reversed contrast creates a different visual weight. Breeze accounts for that. The reading experience is comfortable even during long configuration sessions.

No shadows. The glass effect (12px blur at 0.8 opacity) creates frosted overlays for dropdown menus and modal backgrounds. Against the dark canvas, that blur creates a beautiful depth-of-field effect. The glow hover effect adds warm luminosity to interactive elements. Combined with smooth motion speed, interactions feel deliberate and satisfying. The yellow accent bleeds slightly into hover states, creating moments of warm light in the dark interface.
