Decoded design system

Discord Mobile's decoded design system: background #1A2081, text #000000, accent #5865F2, link #FFFFFF, primary #5865F2; type scale h1 61px / h2 56px / body 20px; 4px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FFFFFF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #FFFFFF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent are all #5865F2 — one role, not several (the action color).
• link, button_bg are all #FFFFFF — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #5865F2 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#FFFFFF` — 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` are all `#5865F2` — one role, not several.
- `link`, `button_bg` are all `#FFFFFF` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#5865F2` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#181D7D` 35.2% · `#02021A` 28.3% · `#0C0E50` 14.3% · `#FFFFFF` 12%

## Typography

- Heading: **Abcgintodiscordnord** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Abcgintodiscord** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 61px / 700 · lh 25px · tracking -0.61px |
| h2 | 56px / 700 · lh 48px · tracking -0.56px |
| h3 | 36px / 800 · lh 33px · tracking -0.36px |
| body | 20px / 400 · lh 26px |
| small | 19px / 600 · lh 25px |

- Weight ladder: 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 · 800 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 28px, 35px, 40px, 42px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 95px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 12px
- card: 16px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#FFFFFF` / `#23272A` | none | 12px | 15px 24px 15px 24px | 400 20px / 0.25px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 12px | 10px 16px 10px 16px | 500 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: box-shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 8px 15px 0px` · background `#C7C8CE`
- secondary hover: background `#5865F2`
- transition: `all 0.3s ease`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 18px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 300ms (dominant) · 250ms · 400ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: font-variation-settings, transform, opacity, background-color

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)

_…and 108 more measured on the page._

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1240px
- nav: 80px absolute

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 910 | — | — | 144/125 | — |
| 909 | 863 | — | — | 141/112 | — |

| 3604 | 936 | — | — | 190/136 | — |
| 4539 | 897 | — | — | 136/151 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
- scroll reveal: 3 elements rest at translateY(-100px) (3 revealed during the drive).

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 450px · 550px · 595px · 768px · 834px · 1024px
- mobile (390px): hero 44px · 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.
