1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

MiniMax's website is a clean, product-showcase platform for a Chinese AI technology company that bridges consumer-friendly appeal with technical credibility. The design language is predominantly white-space-driven with a light, airy feel — pure white backgrounds (#ffffff) dominate, letting colorful product cards and AI model illustrations serve as the visual anchors. The overall aesthetic sits at the intersection of Apple's product marketing clarity and a playful, rounded design language that makes AI technology feel approachable.

The typography system is notably multi-font: DM Sans serves as the primary UI workhorse, Outfit handles display headings with geometric elegance, Poppins appears for mid-tier headings, and Roboto handles data-heavy contexts. This variety reflects a brand in rapid growth — each font serves a distinct communicative purpose rather than competing for attention. The hero heading at 80px weight 500 in both DM Sans and Outfit with a tight 1.10 line-height creates a bold but not aggressive opening statement.

What makes MiniMax distinctive is its pill-button geometry (9999px radius) for navigation and primary actions, combined with softer 8px–24px radiused cards for product showcases. The product cards themselves are richly colorful — vibrant gradients in pink, purple, orange, and blue — creating a "gallery of AI capabilities" feel. Against the white canvas, these colorful cards pop like app icons on a phone home screen, making each AI model/product feel like a self-contained creative tool.

3. Typography Rules

Font Families

• - Primary UI: DM Sans, with fallbacks: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial
• - Display: Outfit, with fallbacks: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial
• - Mid-tier: Poppins
• - Data/Technical: Roboto, with fallbacks: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial

Hierarchy

Principles

• - Multi-font purpose: DM Sans = UI workhorse (body, nav, buttons); Outfit = geometric display (headings, product names); Poppins = friendly mid-tier (sub-headings, features); Roboto = technical/data contexts.
• - Universal 1.50 line-height: The overwhelming majority of text uses 1.50 line-height, creating a consistent reading rhythm regardless of font or size. Exceptions: display (1.10 tight) and some captions (1.70 relaxed).
• - Weight 500 as default emphasis: Most headings use 500 (medium) rather than bold, creating a modern, approachable tone. 600 for section titles, 700 reserved for strong emphasis.
• - Compact hierarchy: The size scale jumps from 80px display straight to 28–32px section, then 16–20px body — a deliberate compression that keeps the visual hierarchy feeling efficient.

• - Sticky header behavior

5. Layout Principles

Spacing System

• - Base unit: 8px
• - Scale: 1px, 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 11px, 14px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 50px, 64px, 80px

Grid & Container

• - Max content width centered on page
• - Product card grids: horizontal scroll or 3–4 column layout
• - Full-width white sections with contained content
• - Dark footer at full-width

Breakpoints

Whitespace Philosophy

• - Gallery spacing: Products are presented like gallery items with generous white space between cards, letting each AI model breathe as its own showcase.
• - Section rhythm: Large vertical gaps (64px–80px) between major sections create distinct "chapters" of content.
• - Card breathing: Product cards use internal padding of 16px–24px with ample whitespace around text.

Border Radius Scale

• - Minimal (4px): Small tags, micro badges
• - Standard (8px): Buttons, small cards
• - Comfortable (11px–13px): Medium cards, panels
• - Generous (16px–20px): Large product cards
• - Large (22px–24px): Hero product cards, major containers
• - Pill (30px–32px): Badge pills, rounded panels
• - Full (9999px): Buttons, nav tabs

6. Depth & Elevation

Shadow Philosophy: MiniMax uses a distinctive purple-tinted shadow (rgba(44, 30, 116, ...)) for featured elements, creating a subtle brand-color glow that connects the shadow system to the blue brand identity. Standard shadows use neutral black but at low opacity (0.08), keeping everything feeling light and airy. The directional shadow variant (6.5px offset) adds dimensional interest to hero product cards.

7. Do's and Don'ts

Do

• - Use white as the dominant background — let product cards provide the color
• - Apply pill radius (9999px) for navigation tabs and toggle buttons
• - Use generous border radius (20px–24px) for product showcase cards
• - Employ the purple-tinted shadow for featured/hero product cards
• - Keep body text at DM Sans weight 400–500 — heavier weights for buttons only
• - Use Outfit for display headings, DM Sans for everything functional
• - Maintain the universal 1.50 line-height across body text
• - Let colorful product illustrations/gradients serve as the primary visual interest

Don't

• - Don't add colored backgrounds to main content sections — white is structural
• - Don't use sharp corners (0–4px radius) on product cards — the rounded aesthetic is core
• - Don't apply the brand pink (#ea5ec1) to text or buttons — it's for logo and decorative accents only
• - Don't mix more than one display font per section (Outfit OR Poppins, not both)
• - Don't use weight 700 for headings — 500–600 is the range, 700 is reserved for strong emphasis in body text
• - Don't darken shadows beyond 0.16 opacity — the light, airy feel requires restraint
• - Don't use Roboto for headings — it's the data/technical context font only

Iteration Guide

1. Start with white — color comes from product cards and illustrations only

2. Pill buttons (9999px) for nav/tabs, standard radius (8px) for CTA buttons

3. Purple-tinted shadows for featured cards, neutral shadows for everything else

4. DM Sans handles 70% of text — Outfit is display-only, Poppins is mid-tier only

5. Keep weights moderate (500–600 for headings) — the brand tone is confident but approachable

6. Large radius cards (20–24px) for products, smaller radius (8–13px) for UI elements
