Decoded design system

Venmo Mobile's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #008CFF, link #0070BA, primary #008CFF; type scale h1 70px / h2 58px / body 18px; 4px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FFFFFF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#FFFFFF`
surface	`#EFEFEF`
border	`#D8D8D8`
text	`#000000`
text_muted	`#606060`
primary	`#008CFF`
accent	`#008CFF`
link	`#0070BA`
button_bg	`#FFFFFF`
button_text	`#0070BA`

Using these colors

Action color #FFFFFF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent are all #008CFF — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #008CFF — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
link #0070BA — inline text links and link-styled controls.

# Venmo Mobile — Design System

> light, consumer, high — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#008CFF` |
| accent | `#008CFF` |
| link | `#0070BA` |
| button_bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| button_text | `#0070BA` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#FFFFFF` — 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` are all `#008CFF` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#008CFF` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **link** `#0070BA` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#4BB4FF` 37.9% · `#FFFFFF` 20.5% · `#64849E` 16.4% · `#273244` 13.6%

## Typography

- Heading: **Venmo Sans** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Venmo Sans** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 70px / 700 · lh 67px · tracking -2.11px |
| h2 | 58px / 700 · lh 55px · tracking -1.73px |
| h3 | 47px / 700 · lh 45px · tracking -1.41px |
| body | 18px / 400 · lh 24px · tracking -0.18px |
| small | 17px / 500 · lh 20px |

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

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 6px, 8px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 30px, 48px, 53px, 64px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 79px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 24px
- card: 32px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#FFFFFF` / `#0070BA` | 1px solid rgb(0, 112, 186) | 24px | 0px 23.996px 0px 23.996px | 600 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

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

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14) 4px 4px 28px 6px`
- overlay: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.16) 0px 12px 28px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 600ms (dominant) · 700ms · 300ms
- easings: `ease-in-out` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.37, 0.34, 0.26, 0.9)`
- animated properties: opacity, padding, margin, transform

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 1440px · common grid: 14-col

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 88 | 962 | 14 | 24 | 79/53 | 12/6/6/6/6/6/6/6/6/6/6/6/6/12 |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.text-group` @0ms → `div` @1ms → `div.text-group-content-discl` @1ms → `div.hero-homepage-hybrid-med` @1ms → `div.media-container` @12ms → `div.text-group-container` @12ms
- `div.text-group` — opacity 0.1→1 · transform translateY(40px)→translateY(0px) — 700ms cubic-bezier(0.37, 0.34, 0.26, 0.9)
- `div` — opacity 0.1→1 · transform translateY(64px)→translateY(0px) — 700ms cubic-bezier(0.37, 0.34, 0.26, 0.9)
- `div.text-group-content-discl` — opacity 0.1→1 · transform translateY(88px)→translateY(0px) — 700ms cubic-bezier(0.37, 0.34, 0.26, 0.9)
- `div.hero-homepage-hybrid-med` — opacity 0.1→1 · transform translateY(100%)→translateY(0px) — 700ms cubic-bezier(0.37, 0.34, 0.26, 0.9)
- stagger: `div` ×6 — 75ms apart
- scroll reveal: 5 elements rest at opacity 0, translateY(100px), animate in over 0.7s ease-out (5 revealed during the drive).

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

## Components (measured)
- link: #0070BA · underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 375px · 657px · 752px · 768px · 1024px · 1406px
- mobile (390px): hero 44px · 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.
