Heptabase — sunlit research desk. An eggshell canvas holds a centered, type-led landing page where Instrument Sans headlines carry quiet intellectual weight and Inter keeps navigation, labels, and product UI compact. Nearly every marketing surface stays warm-white or soft gray; charcoal pill actions and a restrained electric-blue link color punctuate the page without turning it into a blue-branded interface. Large product demonstrations sit like physical documents over atmospheric landscape footage, while the surrounding page remains sparse, flat, and carefully spaced.
