Typography and color

## Defining clarity and brand presence

For the configurator, we chose typography that promotes readability and reinforces Porsche’s premium, modern image. The font supports clear hierarchy without distracting from visual content or interaction.  
  
Color choices balance Porsche’s iconic palette with digital needs-deep blacks and sleek grays provide contrast, while signature red highlights guide attention and emphasize key actions throughout the interface.
