Decoded design system

Sketch's decoded design system: background #F5F5F5, text #212123, accent #555DFF, link #555DFF, primary #0000EE; type scale h1 76px / h2 24px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #151515 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#F5F5F5`
surface	`#E8E8E8`
border	`#D5D5D5`
text	`#212123`
text_muted	`#717172`
primary	`#0000EE`
accent	`#555DFF`
link	`#555DFF`
secondary	`#F26725`
button_bg	`#151515`
button_text	`#FFFFFF`

Using these colors

Action color #151515 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
accent, link are all #555DFF — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #555DFF — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
primary #0000EE — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #151515, not this.
secondary #F26725 — 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.

# Sketch — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F5F5F5` |
| surface | `#E8E8E8` |
| border | `#D5D5D5` |
| text | `#212123` |
| text_muted | `#717172` |
| primary | `#0000EE` |
| accent | `#555DFF` |
| link | `#555DFF` |
| secondary | `#F26725` |
| button_bg | `#151515` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#151515` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `link` are all `#555DFF` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#555DFF` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **primary** `#0000EE` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #151515, not this.
- **secondary** `#F26725` — 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): `#E3D3EC` 63.7% · `#F2ECF1` 18.4% · `#7A7782` 9.1% · `#FFFFFF` 8.7%

## Typography

- Heading: **Reckless** _(free fallback: Fraunces)_
- Body: **Inter**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 76px / 500 · lh 76px · tracking -1.5px |
| h2 | 24px / 400 · lh 32px |
| h3 | 22px / 600 · lh 24px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 24px |
| small | 15px / 400 · lh 20px |

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

> **Fonts —** Reckless is proprietary — closest free match: Fraunces (Google). Load Fraunces; keep Reckless first so licensed users still get it. Inter — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 3px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 128px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 16px
- card: 12px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 3px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#151515` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 16px | 11px 16px 12px 24px | 600 16px | rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) 0px 1px 1px 0px inset, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5) 0px 1px 4px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.94) 0px -2px 4px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 1px 4px 0px |
| secondary | `#F5F5F5` / `#212123` | none | 28px | — | — | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: transform `matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, -1)`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- transition: `all 0.25s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 1px 3px 0px`
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 2px 4px 0px`
- button: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) 0px 1px 1px 0px inset, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5) 0px 1px 4px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.94) 0px -2px 4px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 1px 4px 0px`
- overlay: `rgb(200, 171, 173) 0px 40px 200px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 800ms (dominant) · 250ms · 125ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.455, 0.03, 0.515, 0.955)` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.19, 1, 0.22, 1)`
- animated properties: color, transform, stroke, fill

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 1200px · common grid: 4-col
- nav: 80px relative

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.about__card` @0ms → `ul.customer-logos__marquee`×2 @0ms → `div.top-bar` @109ms → `li.testimonials__item`×6 @109ms → `span.testimonial__award__text`×3 @110ms → `li.testimonials__item`×6 @221ms
- `div.canvas__asset` — opacity 0→1 · transform rotateX(12deg) rotateY(0deg)→rotateX(2.31774deg) rotateY(0deg) — 800ms cubic-bezier(0.785, 0.135, 0.15, 0.86)
- stagger: `div` ×16 — 100ms apart
- scroll reveal: 24 elements rest at opacity 0, translateY(-32px), animate in over 0.25s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) (21 revealed during the drive).

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

## Components (measured)
- link: #FFFFFF · no underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 640px · 768px · 1024px · 1219px · 1440px · 1600px
- mobile (390px): hero 48px · 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.
