78## AI Build Instructions
79 
80> **Read this section before writing any code.** The rules below
81> are non-negotiable. Every value used in the UI must come from this
82> file's frontmatter — never substitute, approximate, or invent new
83> colors, fonts, radii, or shadows. If a value is missing, ask the
84> user before adding one.
85 
86### 1 · Your role
87 
88You are building UI for a project that has adopted **Limepress Fintech** as its
89design system. Treat `DESIGN.md` as the single source of truth.
90Your job is to translate the user's product requirements into
91components and pages that look like they were designed by the same
92person who authored this file.
93 
94### 2 · Token compliance
95 
96- Pull every color, font family, radius, shadow, and spacing value
97  from the frontmatter at the top of this file.
98- Use semantic roles (e.g. `primary`, `accent`, `muted`) — never
99  hard-code hex values that bypass the system.
100- When a token can be expressed as a CSS variable, declare it once
101  in your global stylesheet and reference it everywhere downstream.
102- The Google Fonts `<link>` is provided in the Typography section.
103  Add it to `<head>` before any component renders.
104 
105### 3 · Component recipes
106 
107Use these recipes verbatim when building the corresponding component.
108 
109#### Buttons
110 
111Four variants are defined. Pick one — never blend variants or invent a fifth.
112 
113- **Primary** — pill shape, bg `#9fe870`, text `#163300`, padding `12px 24px`, weight `600`.
114- **Secondary** — pill shape, bg `rgba(22,51,0,0.08)`, text `#0e0f0c`, padding `10px 20px`, weight `600`.
115- **Outline** — pill shape, bg `#ffffff`, text `#0e0f0c`, padding `10px 20px`, weight `600`, shadow `rgba(14,15,12,0.12) 0 0 0 1px`.
116- **Ghost** — pill shape, bg `rgba(211,242,192,0.4)`, text `#0e0f0c`, padding `10px 16px`, weight `600`.
117 
118Reach for **primary** as the single dominant CTA per screen.
119**Secondary** for the supporting action. **Outline** for tertiary
120actions in toolbars. **Ghost** for inline links and table actions.
121 
122#### Cards
123 
124- Background: `#ffffff`
125- Border: `1px solid rgba(14,15,12,0.12)`
126- Shadow: `rgba(14,15,12,0.12) 0 0 0 1px`
127- Radius: `radius.lg` (`30px`)
128- Internal padding: `20px` for compact cards, `24–28px` for content cards.
129 
130#### Charts
131 
132- Bar/line variant: `bars`
133- Bar radius: `6px 6px 0 0`
134- No gridlines — let the bars/lines carry the data.
135- Highlight strategy: `single` — emphasize a single bar/point per chart.
136 
137#### Typography pairings
138 
139- **Display (`Archivo Black`)** — h1, h2, hero headlines, brand wordmarks.
140- **Body (`Inter`)** — paragraphs, labels, button text, form inputs.
141- **Mono (`JetBrains Mono`)** — code, eyebrows, metadata, numerals in tables.
142 
143### 4 · Hard constraints
144 
145Never do any of the following without explicit instruction from the user:
146 
147- Introduce a new color, font, radius, or shadow that isn't declared above.
148- Mix this system with another (e.g. don't paste in Material or Bootstrap defaults).
149- Use generic gradient defaults (purple→blue, peach→pink) — they break the system's voice.
150- Reach for emoji icons. Use a consistent icon library and size icons in line with body type.
151- Add motion that exceeds the system's restraint — keep transitions short (≤200ms) and subtle.
152 
153### 5 · Before you finish — verify
154 
155Run through this checklist for every screen you produce:
156 
157- [ ] Every color used appears in the Colors table above.
158- [ ] Headlines use the display font; body copy uses the body font.
159- [ ] Buttons match one of the declared variants exactly (shape, padding, weight).
160- [ ] Border-radius values come from `radius.sm` / `radius.md` / `radius.lg` / `radius.pill`.
161- [ ] Cards and dividers use the declared border + shadow tokens.
162- [ ] No values were invented; if you needed something missing, you stopped and asked.
163

166## 1. Atmosphere
167 
168Limepress Fintech is the visual translation of "money without borders" — a bold, confident fintech surface that throws out corporate-blue convention in favor of a single, electric **lime-green** (`#9fe870`) accent paired with warm near-black (`#0e0f0c`). The page is a calm warm white, but the typography turns up the volume: display headlines run at weight **900** with a remarkable **0.85 line-height**, so the letters nearly stack on top of each other. The result reads like a protest sign — urgent, physical, impossible to ignore.
169 
170The accent strategy is disciplined: lime green is reserved for primary CTAs, with **dark forest green** (`#163300`) as the contrasting button text. This nature-pairing feels alive and optimistic, completely unlike the saturated blues of legacy banking. Hover behavior is physical, not chromatic — buttons grow with `scale(1.05)` and compress to `scale(0.95)` on press. The button literally responds to your cursor like a tactile object.
171 
172The body voice is Inter at weight **600** by default — confident, never light. Combined with OpenType `"calt"` (contextual alternates) on every text element, the whole system reads as one continuous, deliberate voice.
173 
174**Signature moves**
175- Display weight 900 at 0.85 line-height — the densest type stack in the catalog
176- Lime Green (`#9fe870`) on `#163300` — nature-inspired CTA combo
177- Inter weight 600 as body default — never 400
178- Scale(1.05) on hover, scale(0.95) on active — physical button motion
179- OpenType `"calt"` enabled globally
180- Pill buttons (9999px) and big rounded cards (30–40px)
181- **Ring shadow** (`0 0 0 1px`) as the entire elevation system — no soft blur
182 
183## 2. Palette
184 
185### Primary
186- **Near Black** `#0e0f0c` — text, dark sections (warm green undertone)
187- **Limepress Green** `#9fe870` — primary CTA, brand identity
188- **Dark Green** `#163300` — button label on green
189- **Light Mint** `#e2f6d5` — soft surface, badge
190- **Pastel Green** `#cdffad` — interactive hover accent
191 
192### Semantic
193- Positive `#054d28` · Danger `#d03238` · Warning `#ffd11a`
194- Background Cyan `rgba(56,200,255,0.10)` · Bright Orange `#ffc091`
195 
196### Neutral
197- Warm Dark `#454745` · Gray `#868685` · Light Surface `#e8ebe6`

253 
254## 9. Do's & don'ts
255 
256✅ **Do**
257- Use weight 900 on display — the extreme weight IS the brand
258- Hold display line-height at 0.85 — never relax it
259- Lime CTAs only — `#9fe870` background, `#163300` text
260- Apply scale(1.05) hover and scale(0.95) active
261- Use Inter weight 600 as body default
262 
263❌ **Don't**
264- Use lighter weights for display — only 900
265- Use lime as a large background — CTAs and small accents only
266- Skip the scale animation on buttons
267- Use blur shadows — ring shadows only
