## Quick Reference

- **Primary accent**: Apple Blue `#0071e3` — interactive elements only
- **Backgrounds**: `#000000` (dark/immersive) alternating with `#f5f5f7` (light/informational)
- **Typography**: SF Pro Display (20px+) / SF Pro Text (below 20px) — optical sizing boundary
- **Pill CTA radius**: 980px — signature Apple link shape
- **Nav**: `rgba(0,0,0,0.8)` + `backdrop-filter: saturate(180%) blur(20px)` — non-negotiable glass effect
