Decoded design system

Highlight's decoded design system: background #0D0225, text #FFFFFF, accent #72E4FC, link #72E4FC, primary #72E4FC; type scale h1 58px / h2 44px / body 18px; 8px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #72E4FC — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #72E4FC — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, link, button_bg are all #72E4FC — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #72E4FC — 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 #6C37F4 — 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.

# Highlight — Design System

> dark, modern, medium, tailwind — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#0D0225` |
| surface | `#1B1132` |
| border | `#312745` |
| text | `#FFFFFF` |
| text_muted | `#A39EAC` |
| primary | `#72E4FC` |
| accent | `#72E4FC` |
| link | `#72E4FC` |
| secondary | `#6C37F4` |
| button_bg | `#72E4FC` |
| button_text | `#000000` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#72E4FC` — 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 `#72E4FC` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#72E4FC` — 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** `#6C37F4` — 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): `#0D0225` 82.8% · `#D92E3D` 5% · `#D9EADA` 5% · `#1D1435` 3.6%

## Typography

- Heading: **Poppins**
- Body: **Segoe UI** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Mono: **IBM Plex Mono** _(measured)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 58px / 600 · lh 76px · tracking -0.5px |
| h2 | 44px / 600 · lh 54px · tracking -0.25px |
| h3 | 26px / 600 · lh 40px |
| body | 18px / 400 · lh 34px |
| small | 16px / 600 · lh 26px |

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

> **Fonts —** Poppins — free, on Google. Segoe UI may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 44px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 50px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

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

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#72E4FC` / `#000000` | 1px solid rgb(114, 228, 252) | 8px | 10px 24px 10px 24px | 500 16px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#72E4FC` | 1px solid rgb(114, 228, 252) | 8px | 8px 16px 8px 16px | 500 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#23B6E2`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- secondary hover: background `#23B6E2` · color `#0D0225`
- transition: `all 0.2s ease`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgb(108, 55, 244) 8px 8px 0px -2px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 150ms · 100ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`
- animated properties: color, background-color, border-color, text-decoration-color

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

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

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `a.hidden` @0ms

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

## Components (measured)
- card ×8: pad 32px 32px 32px 32px · r 16px · bg #FFFFFF
  - hover: font-weight `400` · letter-spacing `normal`
- link: #72E4FC · no underline — hover #23B6E2

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 600px · 640px · 768px · 800px · 1000px · 1024px
- 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.
