Pure white background. The surface tint carries a faint warm undertone that keeps the interface from feeling clinical. The muted text color (#A69183) is an unusual warm clay tone instead of the typical gray. That single choice shifts the entire personality from "corporate software" to "modern platform."

Inter at weight 500 for headings with tight negative letter-spacing (-0.3px). The letters pull together just enough to feel dense and confident. At a 1.598 type scale, the heading sizes jump dramatically from body to h1. Big statements on top, clean reading below. That scale ratio creates the feeling of a platform that has something important to say.

Body text at regular weight with 1.59 line height is generous. Almost luxurious spacing between lines. For a payroll platform, that readability isn't aesthetic. It's functional. People are scanning numbers, names, dates. Every line of text needs to be instantly distinguishable from the one above and below it. The generous line height turns a dense data interface into something scannable.

No shadows. The depth system relies entirely on surface color shifts and the glass effect. With a 6px surface blur at 0.5 opacity, background elements get a frosted-glass treatment that creates layering without traditional shadows. The glow hover effect adds a warm luminosity to interactive elements. Combined with fast motion speed, the interface feels responsive and alive. Not a static form. A living system.
