Which style should you pick?

Pick Resend if you want True #000000 obsidian canvas with rgba(212,234,255,0.19) ice-tinted borders, 96px Domaine editorial serif H1, -0.05em ABC Favorit H2, CommitMono code, and blur(25px) glass CTAs — signals: dark, obsidian, pitch-black, developer, email, api, resend, mono, frosted-glass, ice-slate-border, luxury.

Pick Mintlify if you want Clean #FFFFFF & warm sand #F9F6F3 surfaces paired with deep forest ink #121715, 50px ArizonaFlare editorial display typography (-0.04em tracking), and crisp 4px #08090A / #0077A6 CTAs — signals: light, docs, documentation, warm, mintlify, ai, clean.

Shared traits: devtools, serif, editorial.

Rules that differ

Resend never:

NEVER use a single generic sans-serif font across the entire page—Resend’s signature tension comes from combining an editorial serif (Domaine for Hero H1), a tight neo-grotesque display sans (ABC Favorit with -0.05em tracking for H2), Inter for body copy, and CommitMono for code.
NEVER use warm or neutral gray borders on #000000—always use cool ice-tinted translucent borders (rgba(212, 234, 255, 0.19) / --slate-a6 or rgba(211, 237, 246, 0.11)).
NEVER use loose letter-spacing on H2 headings—Resend uses an aggressive -0.05em (-2.8px at 56px) tracking on section headings.

Mintlify never:

NEVER substitute generic uncalibrated gray backgrounds for Mintlify’s exact #FFFFFF canvas and #F9F6F3 surface pairing.
NEVER replace arizonaFlare display typography or ignore its signature scale (50px / -0.04em (w400)).
NEVER use thick opaque borders that clash with #F1F0EE (1px solid #F1F0EE).
