Dipsy
eng.dipsy.teama family-run design studio that turns its own name into the hero, a screen-filling black ";DIPSY" set in a heavy condensed grotesque on warm grey, a pink gradient bleeding down from the top edge, pill-outlined nav and pill form fields, and a playful run of cookie-dough photography toward the end.

Do / Don't
Reference it for
- Name-as-hero: filling the first screen with the studio's own wordmark in heavy condensed type, scale doing all the work.
- Pill-everything: pill-outlined nav badges (border-radius 50px) and fully pilled form fields as a friendly, low-furniture UI language.
- A restrained, warm monochrome base (#000 on #EBEBEB) lifted by one coral accent (#FF8562) plus rare saturated block fills.
- Condensed grotesque display with tight negative tracking (-1.3 to -3px) for big, punchy headings on a budget (TeXGyreHerosCn is free).
- A reference for getting a genuinely characterful site out of Tilda without a custom front-end stack.
Do not copy
- The ";DIPSY" wordmark and the cookie-dough imagery are Dipsy's own personality; borrow the move, not the assets.
- The sbs-... keyframe soup is Tilda-generated and not portable; rebuild the reveals as clean CSS, do not try to mirror them.
- jQuery and the Tilda runtime are baggage on a modern Astro stack; take the look, leave the loader.
Signature moves
name-as-hero condensed wordmark
the studio's own name fills the first screen in a heavy condensed grotesque (TeXGyreHerosCn) up to 150px with tight negative tracking (-1.3 to -3px), scale doing all the work.
pill-everything low-furniture UI
pill-outlined nav badges and fully pilled form fields (border-radius 50px) give a friendly, low-furniture interface language on a #000-on-#EBEBEB base.

a "seriously playful" brand-and-motion studio that wears its personality as type, a wonky multi-alternate ANALOGUE wordmark, emoji and icon glyphs set inline in the copy, a candy-pink accent on white, and a GSAP-driven box of tricks (mexican-wave letters, glitches, bounce, float) kept just on the right side of chaos.
