# Wise-Inspired — Style Reference
> An inspired interpretation of Wise's design language — a global money-transfer brand whose surface combines an unusually heavy near-black display sans (weight 900 at 64–126 px) with a vivid lime-green brand accent, sage-tinted surface neutrals, and rounded white cards on a pale green-tinted canvas; the whole system reads more like a Scandinavian fintech magazine than a bank.

### Don't

- Do not replace `--color-ink` with an arbitrary neutral.
- Do not flatten documented component states or spacing relationships.
- Do not treat this extracted snapshot as newer than the live source website.
