Warm off-white ground, warm-white cards, plum ink and plum-grey neutrals. Actions are plum with cream text; coral means Warm and nothing else. Signal is the temperature stem on a quiet chip; fit is a plain number. Geist for display, body and every label, with no capitals anywhere; Geist Mono only for figures, a URL, an id and a key hint. No pills and no circles: buttons and chips 6px, inputs 8px, cards and dialogs 12px.
Every colour by the job it does. The landing alone keeps coral deep for its calls to action.
--accent--line--surface-2--sig-warm, -mild, -cool--ink, --ink-2--warning, --error--accent--chart-1 to -4--plum, --focus-inverse--ctaOne theme. Every color is painted explicitly, so the page holds on any host ground.
Hierarchy comes from weight (400, 500 and 600) and size, not ornament. Display 600, tracking -.03em on names and titles and -.045em from 96px up, none below 16px. Body 13.5px Geist 400. Nothing is uppercase: a label is Geist 500 13px in sentence case, a section head Geist 600 14px in ink, and a section stacked in one column is the label with a hairline to the edge. Every number is Geist with tabular figures; mono is left to figures, a URL, an id and a key hint.
Body 13.5 / Geist 400. Recruiters read this for hours, so it stays small with generous leading and a 62 character measure on the why text.

6px buttons with flush-left labels. One plum primary per view. Keys sit inside the button that triggers them. 44px tall on touch screens.
Pills describe state and never take clicks. Chips are criteria verdicts: a quiet chip with an ink square for 3 of 3, an outlined struck chip for 0 of 3. The rank badge is a square that fills plum on the selected row.
The bars light up to the level and always carry its label: Warm, Mild or Cool. The signal chip is the quiet fill at every level; buttons stay outlined. Fit is not a chip: "Fit" in grey, then the number in ink. Under a Fit column the number stands alone.
Label, display value, 6px plum bar. A score has no tone. Unrated shows "not scored" or a dash, never a zero.
Rank badge, person block with structured why, three meters, three actions. The selected card carries the plum ring and a filled rank badge. Later cards sink under a divider at 80%; contacted cards stay in rank at 60%.

Every signed-in page shares the shell: a 52px white top bar (the ring to Today, the agency, the search trigger and the avatar that opens the account menu) and a 56px rail with Today and Clients that widens to 208px over the page on hover, or pushes it when kept open. The rubric aside shows weights as a column of numbers with bars scaled to the largest weight; hover a row for its basis.
Provenance in one line. The new-since button is pressed when filtering to new people only. The "? keys" hint at the right opens the keyboard legend. Every number carries a tooltip on hover or focus.
Per-criterion rows carry weight, short label, the rating with a 48px bar, and the cited evidence. The dialog edits weights and normalizes on save. Toasts carry an Undo with its key.
