What swisstypefaces.com does well

Uses dark surfaces to make accent colors and product shots glow with contrast.
Typography does the heavy lifting — hierarchy, scale and rhythm replace decoration.

Apply it to your own project

On dark themes, reserve one bright accent for the primary CTA only.
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 swisstypefaces.com's design language instead of AI defaults. A preview:
