Dos & Don'ts

Do

  • Use NotionInter font family exclusively; apply NotionInter 700 for headings in sentence-case, and NotionInter 400 or 500 for body text with a 24px line-height.
  • Primary call-to-action buttons must use a #0075de background with #ffffff text, 8px border-radius, and padding of 4px 14px.
  • Secondary buttons should feature an #e6f3fe background with #005bab text, 10px border-radius, and padding of 10px 19px.
  • Incorporate subtle, multi-layer shadows for depth on dropdowns (rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04) 0px 4px 18px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.027) 0px 2.025px 7.84688px) and modals (rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08) 0px 20px 50px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04) 0px 6px 16px 0px).
  • Utilize a limited color palette focusing on the primary #0075de, accent #ff8b7c, and neutral #ffffff and #040404 (light mode) or #111111 (dark mode) for text.
  • Maintain a consistent border-radius system: small 4px, medium 10px, and large 12px for UI elements, with a base spacing unit of 2px.
  • Employ action-oriented imperative verbs in CTAs, often paired with benefit-driven phrases, such as 'Get Notion free' or 'Request a demo'.
  • Use the specific linear-gradient(rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), rgb(255, 255, 255)) for subtle background transitions or overlays where depth is desired.

Don't

  • Avoid using any font families other than NotionInter; do not introduce serif fonts or highly decorative typefaces.
  • Do not use emojis or exclamations in marketing copy or product descriptions; maintain a professional and matter-of-fact tone.
  • Do not use title case for headings; all headings should adhere to sentence-case convention.
  • Do not apply shadows to primary or secondary buttons; buttons should remain flat or use only a subtle border.
  • Avoid overly playful or overly formal language; maintain a balance between serious and accessible, leaning towards a slightly enthusiastic tone (6/10).
  • Do not use a monochrome color scheme; leverage the primary #0075de and accent #ff8b7c to add visual interest.
  • Do not use excessive jargon; while some technical vocabulary is acceptable, ensure content remains largely accessible (7/10).
  • Avoid sharp, unrounded corners; all interactive UI elements should feature a border-radius of at least 4px.
