Decoded design system

Lithic's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #0A0A0B, accent #FF6600, link #FFFFFF, primary #FF6600; type scale h1 64px / h2 32px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 16px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FF6600 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #FF6600 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, button_bg are all #FF6600 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #FF6600 — 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 #FFFFFF — fails contrast on the background (~1.0:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
• secondary #5C2999 — 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.

# Lithic — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F0F0F0` |
| border | `#DADADA` |
| text | `#0A0A0B` |
| text_muted | `#676767` |
| primary | `#FF6600` |
| accent | `#FF6600` |
| link | `#FFFFFF` |
| secondary | `#5C2999` |
| button_bg | `#FF6600` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#FF6600` — 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 `#FF6600` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#FF6600` — 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** `#FFFFFF` — fails contrast on the background (~1.0:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
- **secondary** `#5C2999` — 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): `#000000` 65.8% · `#1E1D1C` 15.9% · `#FFFFFF` 14.2% · `#6B6662` 4.1%

## Typography

- Heading: **ABC Monument Grotesk** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Arial**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 64px / 500 · lh 64px · tracking -1.28px |
| h2 | 32px / 500 · lh 38px · tracking -0.64px |
| h3 | 24px / 500 · lh 29px · tracking -0.48px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 22px |
| small | 14px / 400 · lh 20px |

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

> **Fonts —** ABC Monument Grotesk may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Arial — system font, no web load needed.

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 38px, 40px, 48px, 64px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 80px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 16px
- button: 160px
- card: 24px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#FF6600` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(255, 102, 0) | 160px | 10px 24px 10px 24px | 500 14px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) | 160px | 10px 24px 10px 24px | 500 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

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

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 16px 32px 0px`
- overlay: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0px 16px 32px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 300ms · 250ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.215, 0.61, 0.355, 1)`
- animated properties: opacity, color, box-shadow, 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)

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|

_…and 80 more measured on the page._

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

## Layout (measured)

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.marquee-track` @0ms

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

## Components (measured)
- disabled: bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) · text #000000

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 479px · 767px · 991px · 1470px
- mobile (390px): hero 40px · 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.
