# Spacex-Inspired — Style Reference
> An inspired interpretation of Spasex's design language — a mission-oriented aerospace brand built on pure black canvas, full-bleed photographic and video heroes of rockets and Mars landscapes, and uppercase D-DIN display type set in tight vertical leading. UI chrome is intentionally minimal a single ghost outlined pill button per band, all-caps eyebrow microtext, and a fixed top nav over photography. The system is unapologetically austere — black, white, and the imagery itself.
