> Design in the spirit of Odyssey by Okta — Okta's accessible design system of MUI-based React components and design tokens for building Okta product UIs. Character: Identity-security sobriety: MUI bones under Okta indigo, deliberately dark semantic tones, and flows hardened for login-page trust. Use a primary colour near #546be7, the typeface "Aeonik / Inter" (or a close equivalent), corner radius around 6px, a spacing rhythm on a 4px base. Match the intent, not the pixels; adapt it to my product rather than cloning it.
