Decoded design system

Storytellerscircle's decoded design system: background #0A0A0B, text #271A0D, link #976730, primary #976730; type scale h1 24px / h2 22px / body 15px; 5px spacing base; 20px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #4B3219 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# Storytellerscircle — Design System

> light — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#0A0A0B` |
| surface | `#0B0A0B` |
| border | `#0E0C0B` |
| text | `#271A0D` |
| text_muted | `#1B130C` |
| primary | `#976730` |
| link | `#976730` |
| button_bg | `#4B3219` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#4B3219` — 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 `#976730` — one role, not several.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#F7F3BD` 36.5% · `#935D17` 23.8% · `#E0CD9E` 20.7% · `#362E24` 15.2%

## Typography

- Heading: **Segoe UI** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Segoe UI** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 24px / 400 · lh 34px |
| h2 | 22px / 700 · lh 31px |
| h3 | 20px / 400 · lh 28px |
| body | 15px / 400 · lh 21px |
| small | 13px / 400 · lh 18px |

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

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 5px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 15px, 20px, 30px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 20px
- button: 20px
- card: 20px
- sharp: 3px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#4B3219` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(94, 63, 31) | 20px | 5px 10px 5px 10px | 400 13px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#2C1E0F`
- primary focus: background `#2C1E0F` · outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- transition: `background-color 0.125s ease`

## Motion
- durations: 125ms (dominant) · 250ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant)
- animated properties: background-color, border-color, color, opacity

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 |
|-------|-------|
| `--input-border-heavy` | `#eee574` |
| `--input-border-light` | `#f2ec99` |

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

## Layout (measured)
- nav: 212px · bg #935D17

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 330px · 416px · 480px · 527px · 549px · 650px
- mobile (390px): hero 20px · body 15px · 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.

Is this spec still current?

Storytellerscircle is re-measured from its live DOM every night — 16 measurements on record so far. The dated verdict (held, changed, or never settles) is on its drift ledger.
