- DIRECTION
- 8 Deep-Tech Spec. Industrial-AI hardware sold to wind-farm operations directors, who buy on hours and euros of downtime.
- REGISTER
- LOUD. The bold device is a colour-block system of full-bleed hi-vis bands, with giant live numerals as the image.
- AXES
- ground colour blocks (hi-vis orange / black / white, each with one meaning) · type genre heavy display grotesk (Archivo 900, 88% width, −0.045em) + one Fraunces italic accent word per band · image medium data as art (11:00 countdown, ticking € downtime clock, 0.2 mm, blade drawn as one bold bar chart) · composition banded · motion feel instrumental (rolling digits, filling bars, a scrubbed scan)
- DEFAULT LOOK
- 0/6 matched → DIFFERENT FROM DEFAULT BY: ground (colour blocks, not paper), type (900 heavy grotesk, not 300–500), no mono labels, no hairline metadata bands (6–14px solid rules only), no line drawing (filled bars), colour as field rather than a tiny accent
- MOTIF
- THE BAR, one thick filling bar → hero flight-progress bar (instrument) · rope-vs-K-1 time race (comparison) · the blade itself as 64 bars, scanned on scroll (subject) · same-day timeline and severity bars in the report (data) · the hover underline and the floating CTA's scroll-progress bar (UI)
- TYPE
- display Archivo 900 wdth 88 · text Archivo 400–800 · accent Fraunces 800 italic (one word per band) (2 families)
- PALETTE
- orange #FF5B14 (K-1 does) with ink #220B00 · black #131211 (problem) with ink #F4F3F0 · white #FFFFFF (report) with ink #151413 · tiers 74/66% (84/80% on orange) · accent = orange → ONLY the K-1 meaning + the primary CTA
- HERO
- poster, orange field; h1 top-left, subline + 2 CTAs right; a 412px live 11:00 countdown with a 24px progress bar across the bottom
- IMAGERY
- data as art (no photos or renders exist)
- MOTION
- house ease cubic-bezier(.16,1,.3,1) · UI 150–240ms · reveal 700ms · primitives: digit roll, bar fill (scaleX), scroll-scrubbed scan. Time is linear.
- SIGNATURES
- live ticking stat (techniques §12) as a € downtime clock · interactive calculator (Terminal) · mixed-font headline (§21)
- CONVERSION
- "Book a field demo": nav, hero primary, floating dock (after the hero), finale form. Secondary: "See a sample report".
- VOICE
- "One blade. Eleven minutes." · "Rope teams take the day. Your rotor stands still for all of it." · "Book a field demo."
