Decoded design system

Headspace's decoded design system: background #F9F4F2, text #4B4C4D, accent #0061EF, link #44423F, primary #0061EF; type scale h1 64px / h2 52px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 32px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #0061EF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#F9F4F2`
surface	`#EEE9E8`
border	`#DEDAD9`
text	`#4B4C4D`
text_muted	`#8D8B8B`
primary	`#0061EF`
accent	`#0061EF`
link	`#44423F`
secondary	`#9D968E`
button_bg	`#0061EF`
button_text	`#FFFFFF`

Using these colors

Action color #0061EF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, button_bg are all #0061EF — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #0061EF — 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.
link #44423F — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #0061EF).
secondary #9D968E — 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.

# Headspace — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F9F4F2` |
| surface | `#EEE9E8` |
| border | `#DEDAD9` |
| text | `#4B4C4D` |
| text_muted | `#8D8B8B` |
| primary | `#0061EF` |
| accent | `#0061EF` |
| link | `#44423F` |
| secondary | `#9D968E` |
| button_bg | `#0061EF` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#0061EF` — 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`, `button_bg` are all `#0061EF` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#0061EF` — 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.
- **link** `#44423F` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #0061EF).
- **secondary** `#9D968E` — 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` 79.9% · `#B8A568` 20.1%

## Typography

- Heading: **Headspace Apercu** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Headspace Apercu** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 64px / 700 · lh 64px · tracking -1.92px |
| h2 | 52px / 700 · lh 57px · tracking -1.56px |
| h3 | 48px / 700 · lh 48px · tracking -1.44px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 24px |
| small | 14px / 700 · lh 16px |

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

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 19px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 48px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 32px
- button: 32px
- card: 32px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#0061EF` / `#FFFFFF` | 2px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) | 32px | 14.3px 24px 14.3px 24px | 700 14px | rgba(65, 61, 69, 0.2) 0px 2px 0px 0px |
| secondary | `#2D2C2B` / `#FFFFFF` | 2px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) | 32px | 14px 20px 14px 20px | 700 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#0040EA`
- primary focus: background `#0040EA` · outline `2px solid rgb(0, 64, 234)`
- secondary hover: background `#141313`
- transition: `color 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.94, 0.6, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgba(65, 61, 69, 0.2) 0px 2px 0px 0px`
- card: `rgba(20, 19, 19, 0.2) 0px 3.23px 6.45px 0px`
- button: `rgba(65, 61, 69, 0.2) 0px 2px 0px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 300ms · 400ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.94, 0.6, 1)` (dominant) · `ease`
- animated properties: background-color, transform, color, border-color

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1440px
- nav: 80px · bg #FFFFFF

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.css-ql5950`×2 @0ms → `div.css-c9r2uv` @1ms → `div.css-1ugswzl`×2 @1ms → `span.ot-sdk-show-settings` @577ms → `span.ot-sdk-show-settings` @578ms → `span.ot-sdk-show-settings` @578ms
- stagger: `div` ×7 — 500ms apart
- scroll reveal: 24 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 500ms (8 revealed during the drive).

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

## Components (measured)
- card ×7: pad 0px 0px 0px 0px · r 16px · bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)
  - hover: font-weight `400` · letter-spacing `normal`

## Responsive (measured)
- mobile (390px): body 16px · nav: hamburger

## 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.
