Marx Design

Marx Design uses a stark, high-contrast visual language with a focus on bold typography and achromatic tones. The design system emphasizes clarity and directness through prominent text elements on a predominantly black background. Visual interest is derived from strong typographic presence and the occasional use of black-and-white imagery, creating an atmosphere that is both authoritative and understated. Prioritize Obsidian Black (#000000) for backgrounds and main body text to create a high-contrast foundation. Use Canvas White (#ffffff) exclusively for primary headings and interactive text on dark backgrounds to ensure maximum prominence. Apply the 'black' font at 108px with -0.0250em letter-spacing for all significant hero headlines. Utilize Ash Gray (#ece8e7) for all subtle UI text, borders on neutral elements, and secondary content. Employ a border-radius of 0px for all non-interactive elements and informational blocks to maintain a sharp, architectural edge. Ensure all text (except headings) uses 'untitled' font with 'kern' feature settings for consistent body typography. For primary navigation, use link-styled text in Canvas White (#ffffff) on Obsidian Black (#000000) without explicit padding or borders. Avoid using highly saturated colors for functional UI elements; color is reserved for content or specific brand applications outside general UI. Do not introduce gradients into core UI components; the system relies on flat colors and strong contrast. Refrain from using any borders with a radius greater than 0px on cards or section dividers; maintain sharp, defined edges. Do not stack multiple shadow layers; the system intentionally avoids depth through elevation for a flat aesthetic. Do not deviate from the specified letter-spacing for headlines and button text; precise tracking is key to the typographic identity. Avoid mixed alignment or playful spacing; maintain a sense of order and directness through consistent grid-like structures and centered content. Do not use font weights other than 400; the system achieves distinctiveness through size and tracking rather than varied weight.
