Decoded design system

Hex's decoded design system: background #14141C, text #E3B2B3, accent #3E63DD, link #31263B, primary #31263B; type scale h1 78px / h2 67px / body 12px; 4px spacing base; 3px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #3E63DD — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #3E63DD — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, link are all #31263B — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #3E63DD — 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 #01011B — 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.

# Hex — Design System

> dark, professional, medium, custom — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#14141C` |
| surface | `#201D25` |
| border | `#332B32` |
| text | `#E3B2B3` |
| text_muted | `#947579` |
| primary | `#31263B` |
| accent | `#3E63DD` |
| link | `#31263B` |
| secondary | `#01011B` |
| button_bg | `transparent` |
| button_text | `#14141C` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#3E63DD` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary`, `link` are all `#31263B` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#3E63DD` — 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** `#01011B` — 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): `#F9F6F6` 93% · `#B2AEB6` 7%

## Typography

- Heading: **PP Formula SemiExtended** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Cinetype** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Mono: **Cinetype Mono** _(measured)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 78px / 200 · lh 101px · tracking -1.85px |
| h2 | 67px / 200 · lh 87px · tracking -1.58px |
| h3 | 60px / 700 · lh 78px · tracking -1.85px |
| body | 12px / 400 · lh 17px |
| small | 11px / 400 · lh 17px |
| eyebrow | 10px / 400 · tracking 0.83px |

- Weight ladder: 300 · 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

> **Fonts —** PP Formula SemiExtended may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Cinetype may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 14px, 16px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 3px
- button: 0px
- card: 4px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 3px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#14141C` | 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) | 0px | 0px 15px 0px 15px | 400 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `2px solid rgba(245, 192, 192, 0.384)`
- transition: `background-color 0.25s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgb(218, 221, 230) 0px 0px 0px 1px`
- card: `rgba(95, 80, 157, 0.05) 0px 3px 6px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 250ms (dominant) · 100ms · 200ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1)` (dominant) · `linear`
- animated properties: background-color, border-color, opacity, transform

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

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

## 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.
