What abcdinamo.com does well

Personality in the details — micro-copy, hover states and illustrations that smile.
Typography does the heavy lifting — hierarchy, scale and rhythm replace decoration.

Apply it to your own project

Add personality in low-risk places first: 404s, empty states, button micro-copy.
Try designing the hero with type only — no imagery — and see how far scale and weight take you.

The vibe-coding prompt

Norrly generates a complete founding prompt from the measured values above — theme, exact hex colors, type scale, button geometry, section structure, motion rules and hard constraints. Paste it into Lovable, Cursor, v0 or Bolt to start from abcdinamo.com's design language instead of AI defaults. A preview:
