The yellow is the palette. Everything else is functional. Off-white canvas for white sections. The yellow fills entire feature sections with a color so present it functions as visual volume. Black text on yellow is the highest-contrast combination available in the warm spectrum. The grey border creates the minimum necessary separation between structural elements without adding visual complexity.

Space Grotesk is the grotesque that reads urgently. Where neutral grotesques like Helvetica read as calm corporate authority, Space Grotesk has subtle quirks in its letterforms that give it a human quality at display sizes. At bold weight with tight letter-spacing, it creates headlines that compress space to maximize impact — the typographic equivalent of the headline on a crisis communication poster.

Body at weight 300 creates the maximum typographic contrast with the bold headings. The full range of Space Grotesk's weight axis, from 300 to 700, used across one font family, creates a voice that shifts register from urgent announcement to careful explanation within the same visual system. The size of the base (20px) prioritizes reading ease above visual density.

Relaxed motion at 400ms is slower than most modern interfaces. This is deliberate. Humanitarian contexts often involve users in high-stress situations on slow connections and older devices. Motion that happens too fast creates cognitive friction when the cognitive load is already high. The lift hover effect creates tactile response without requiring fine motor precision. The direct drop shadow on interactive elements makes their affordance visible at a distance, on a screen held at arm's length.
