Decoded design system

Bear's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #444444, accent #DD4C4F, link #DD4C4F, primary #DD4C4F; type scale h1 51px / h2 42px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #DD4C4F — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #DD4C4F — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, link, button_bg are all #DD4C4F — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #DD4C4F — THE accent / action color — interactive & must-notice only (buttons, links, focus, one key highlight); never large fills or backgrounds. Scarcity is what makes it read as designed.
• secondary #884AA8 — optional secondary accent — LOW decode confidence; use rarely (a status color or a single decorative moment) or omit it entirely. Prefer one accent unless the reference clearly shows two.

# Bear — Design System

> light, modern, medium, custom — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F3F3F3` |
| border | `#E2E2E2` |
| text | `#444444` |
| text_muted | `#8B8B8B` |
| primary | `#DD4C4F` |
| accent | `#DD4C4F` |
| link | `#DD4C4F` |
| secondary | `#884AA8` |
| button_bg | `#DD4C4F` |
| button_text | `#444444` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#DD4C4F` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary`, `accent`, `link`, `button_bg` are all `#DD4C4F` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#DD4C4F` — THE accent / action color — interactive & must-notice only (buttons, links, focus, one key highlight); never large fills or backgrounds. Scarcity is what makes it read as designed.
- **secondary** `#884AA8` — optional secondary accent — LOW decode confidence; use rarely (a status color or a single decorative moment) or omit it entirely. Prefer one accent unless the reference clearly shows two.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#FFFFFF` 82.4% · `#95A3AD` 5.3% · `#647C8D` 4.2% · `#2B2F33` 3.7%

## Typography

- Heading: **Bearsansheadline** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Bearsans** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 51px / 400 · lh 56px |
| h2 | 42px / 400 · lh 46px |
| h3 | 30px / 400 · lh 33px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 27px |
| small | 13px / 700 · lh 18px |

- Weight ladder: 400 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

> **Fonts —** Bearsansheadline may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Bearsans may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 5px, 6px, 8px, 13px, 16px, 19px, 24px, 32px, 40px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 192px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 0px
- card: 16px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#444444` | none | 0px | 0px 0px 0px 0px | 400 19.2px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px -5px 15px 1px`
- overlay: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12) 0px 13px 34px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant)
- easings: `ease-in-out` (dominant)
- animated properties: box-shadow

Micro-interactions use the dominant duration + easing; nothing on the page animates slower than the longest duration above — don't invent springier motion.

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| `--background-color` | `#fff` |
| `--background-secondary-color` | `#F3F5F7` |
| `--background-tertiary-color` | `#E4E5E6` |
| `--text-color` | `#444444` |
| `--text-secondary-color` | `#888888` |
| `--text-tertiary-color` | `#d9d9d9` |
| `--accent-color` | `#DD4C4F` |
| `--stroke-color` | `#D9D9D9` |
| `--text-font` | `"bearsans"` |
| `--heading-font` | `"bearsansheadline"` |
| `--code-font` | `"roboto-mono"` |

Prefer these names when extending their system — it's the brand's actual vocabulary.

## Layout (measured)
- container max 960px · common grid: 2-col
- nav: 64px fixed · bg #FFFFFF

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 208 | 1192 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 1531 | 1312 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 1922 | 601 | — | — | 8/8 | — |
| 2843 | 2759 | 2 | — | 0/0 | 40/60 |

## Motion choreography (measured)
- scroll reveal: 2 elements rest at a pre-reveal state (2 revealed during the drive).

Rebuild the timeline, not just the durations — order, delays and staggers above are the choreography.

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 512px · 592px · 640px · 736px · 784px · 832px
- mobile (390px): hero 42px · body 16px · nav: inline

## How to apply
Paste the Tailwind `@theme` (or CSS variables) as your base, then build each
section to its spec — verify every color, radius, and font against these tokens.
Hover/focus states, shadows and motion timings above are measured from the live page — match them exactly, don't re-guess them.
