Neighbourhood · Website 2026 · v2

Design for the humans on the tools.

The living design system for the 2026 site. Every colour, type role and component is driven by tokens.css. Components ship in two stacks (React + vanilla) from one token layer. Toggle the theme (top-right) to check dark mode. Serve this folder to view it (fonts + partials need a server).

02 — Colour

Surfaces & ink

Pure-white ground (V4), graphite ink, soft grey for layering. Cream is kept only as an optional warm surface. In dark mode these flip to a warm charcoal via the surface aliases.

Interactive accent

Coral drives buttons, links and active states. The deep red is reserved for rare high-emphasis only.

03 — Typography

Inter

One family, five weights (Inter — a free Swiss-modernist neo-grotesque from Google Fonts, the closest free match to the licence-gated Lay Grotesk). Hierarchy from size and weight, not extra typefaces. Heading roles carry their own clamp + tracking — use the .text-hero / .h-section roles, not raw sizes.

04 — Spacing

4-point scale

Semantic names, not pixel names. Use gap for sibling spacing; the .stack-* utilities for flow rhythm.

--space-2xs · 4px
--space-xs · 8px
--space-sm · 12px
--space-md · 16px
--space-lg · 24px

--space-5xl · 128px

05 — Radius & elevation

Rounded & soft

Generous radii: pill buttons, 16px cards, 50px image masks. Shadows are warm-tinted and subtle (deeper on dark).

06 — Voice & brand

How we sound

The brand is what it looks like and what it sounds like. Full detail lives in BRAND.md (the single source of truth). The essentials:

Essence & personality

Super Human — bringing humanity to the spaces it's been forgotten. 90% nerd, 10% rebel.

Off-beat
The sharpest person in the room who doesn't make you feel stupid for being there.
Casual swagger
Professionally casual, never corporate.
Open door
Share knowledge freely and boldly.
Tenacious
Show more donkey, less pony. Earn attention through hard work and real results.

Calibration: "Smart enough for the CTO, human enough for the CMO, real enough that neither feels sold to." Consistent across every channel.

Vocabulary

Prefer
"your people" over customers/leads · frame outcomes around humans, not platforms · specific examples + real results · contractions always · direct "you/your" · "we" not third-person · light Australian touch when natural.
Avoid
synergy · game-changer · best-in-class · cutting-edge · leverage · unlock potential · seamless · holistic · rapidly evolving landscape · generic B2B agency-speak · corporate jargon · show-pony behaviour.

Patterns: short punchy sentences mixed with deeper ones. Sentence fragments for emphasis. Dry wit through parenthetical asides, never try-hard. No emojis in long-form (social is the exception).

Approved headlines

From the V4 deck. Confident, direct, short. Use as hero headlines, social titles, brief covers, posters.

Put people before platform.
HubSpot Made Human.
We do simple differently.
Process should be fun!
Expect the unexpected.
Speed meets growth.

Photography

Super Human (team)
Bold angles, unexpected perspectives. Brand colours woven in via wardrobe, props, environments. Staff portraits on flat brand-colour backgrounds. No direct eye contact — averted gaze for a premium, deliberate feel.
Sector (conceptual)
Expressive, offbeat, character-led. Personality and humour over polish. Think a dog at a laptop or a bear with a "SAVE ME" sign — distinctive, never literal category cliche.

07 — Components

The library

25 components, each shipping in React and vanilla from the same tokens. Demos below are the vanilla build; the React API mirrors it. See MANIFEST.md.
