TL;DR
Yardstik employs a "dark mode by default" aesthetic that leans heavily into high-voltage accents. The system is built on a foundation of absolute black (#000000) and deep navy (#00071a), which provides a high-contrast stage for the primary brand color, Electric Cyan (#00f4ff). Typography is a dual-threat system: **Bebas Neue** provides a loud, condensed display voice for heroes and section headers, while **Inter** handles high-legibility body and UI tasks. Visual depth is achieved not through traditional shadows, but through "glow" effects—cyan and mint (#36ffb8) outer shadows that simulate light emission from cards and buttons.
Target audience
The site targets businesses and enterprises seeking a human trust platform, likely B2B clients interested in data-driven credibility and verification solutions.
