Retool. A precision tool surface lit by ember glow, where everything is built.

Retool operates on a near-black canvas — #151515 as the dominant ground — with off-white text (#e9ebdf) that reads more like parchment than pure white, giving the dark surface a warm, organic quality rather than a cold tech-void. Typography is the primary design tool: the custom 'saansFont' runs from weight 300 at 72px down to 380 at body sizes, with aggressive negative tracking at large scales creating compressed, authoritative headlines that feel proprietary. Surface depth is achieved through a three-step stack (#0e0e0 → #151515 → #242424) with no shadows — cards are literally darker or lighter slabs of the same material, not elevated objects. The only chromatic punctuation is muted teal (#185849, #0e352c) used as subtle background washes, while the hero gradient bleeds warm earthy tones (amber-rust into near-black) from the bottom-left, creating atmospheric depth without visual noise. Buttons are square-cornered or pill-cornered depending on context — no in-between — reinforcing a binary, decisive visual grammar.
