Morphic. Dark cinema canvas for AI storytelling.

Morphic operates as a dark cinema canvas for AI storytelling — pure black backgrounds swallow visual noise so generated imagery becomes the only source of color and light. The system is 99% achromatic: a tightly stepped neutral surface stack from #000000 through #212121 to #333333 carries the interface, while white text and gray subtext create hierarchy without competing with the artwork. A single vivid blue (#0075ff) is the only chromatic accent, reserved for primary actions, the 'New' badge, and the Share button — it functions as an electrical pulse against the matte dark, never decorative. Typography is Inter at all weights and sizes, with whisper-tight tracking on large display sizes and generous line-height on body copy. Components feel glassy and recessed: thin borders at near-invisible opacity, soft 10-16px radii, and almost no shadows. The density is compact (4px base, 8px gaps) and the layout is wide-bleed with horizontal-scrolling card rows, giving the site the rhythm of a streaming gallery rather than a traditional SaaS page.
