TL;DR
Drawboard utilizes a "monochrome-plus" system where a deep navy "Ink" (#14234b) provides foundational structure against a light gray canvas (#f6f7f8). The primary energetic driver is a high-visibility Lime (#5ae284), used exclusively for primary actions and key brand highlights. Typography is led by Roobert, a geometric sans-serif that maintains a professional yet approachable technical feel across a wide scale from 12px captions to 56px display headers. The system relies on generous vertical spacing (up to 60px) and a mix of sharp 0px corners for layout containers and ultra-soft 50px pill shapes for interactive elements.

Voice principles
- —Efficient: Uses short, punchy sentences that respect the user's time.
- —Collaborative: Emphasizes shared workspaces and keeping everyone "on the same page."
- —Accessible: Uses plain English to explain technical workflows (e.g., "markups" instead of "annotations").
- —Helpful: Maintains a positive, "can-do" attitude in support contexts without being overly bubbly.
