Outdoor blue at #005E96 sits in the specific saturation and value range that reads as the natural environment rather than the technology sector. It is darker than sky blue and lighter than navy. More saturated than slate and less aggressive than cobalt. Against white canvas and light grey surfaces, it functions as the operational color for all interactive elements without competing with product photography.

Montserrat at bold weight throughout creates a gear-spec voice that reads as direct technical communication. Body text at the same weight as headings — an unusual choice that reads as deliberate rather than monotone because the scale difference between heading and body is large enough to create hierarchy without weight variation. The body letter-spacing at 2px adds the additional visual separation that the shared weight requires.

The large 20px base size creates reading conditions for spec content on mobile devices. Gear reviewers are often reading outdoors, on devices held at arm's length, in variable lighting. 20px body text accommodates those reading conditions. The 1.25 body line-height is tighter than editorial standards — it suits the compressed spec-list format that gear brands use for product information.

The gear-grade shadow (warm grey base, 0.4 opacity) creates the specific quality of outdoor product photography lighting — not the cool grey of tech, not the brown of luxury goods, but the warm grey of things photographed against grey sky or granite. The relaxed motion at 400ms suits a user who is reading carefully rather than scrolling quickly. Lift hover creates the tactile response of picking up something lightweight that has weight-appropriate resistance.
