TL;DR
Strapi utilizes a high-contrast "monochrome" base of pure white (#ffffff) and deep charcoal (#32324d), punctuated by a vibrant electric purple primary accent (#4945ff). The system is built on Poppins, using heavy weights (700) for display headers and medium weights (500-600) for interactive labels. Componentry is characterized by soft, rounded geometry (8px to 10px radii) and subtle, multi-layered shadows that provide depth without visual clutter. The layout is generous, often utilizing 80px to 96px vertical rhythms to separate dense technical content.

Voice principles
- โEmpowering: Focuses on removing blockers and giving control back to the user (e.g., "the way you want," "deploy with confidence").
- โEfficient: Uses time-based promises to highlight speed and simplicity (e.g., "in minutes instead of days," "instantly," "few clicks").
- โCollaborative: Highlights the collective power of the ecosystem rather than just the software (e.g., "vibrant community," "thriving marketplace").
- โTechnical but Accessible: Uses precise developer terminology while maintaining a clean, instructional clarity (e.g., "Content Modeling," "API Creation").
