Vercel is the Frontend Cloud for teams building for the web and the creator of Next.js. Its style compresses Geist Sans with extreme negative tracking, delegates code to Geist Mono, swaps borders for 0 0 0 1px shadow rings, and uses #171717 instead of pure black on near-white. Made for developer and infrastructure products.
Prompt Template

Colors: #171717, #ffffff, #000000, #ff5b4f with #ff5b4f accent. Typography: Geist.
