Drift templates

The kit, then each template beside the Drift send it was cut from. Nothing is live. Tick what looks right, comment on anything off, then Copy for Claude and paste it back.

Since your last look: everything follows Drift's own 18px rule (no 24/29 bump), scent names are italic, Brandon Bold 40 is in the kit, and the thin headline font is staged to switch on with the kit. Static images only; GIFs on request.

Kit

14 colours, all from Drift's own declared tokens; 19 text styles measured from Drift's 2026 sends.
