Checkout.com commissioned a semi-mono Apercu and runs it at 80px/700 in white on black for full-bleed statements — PERFORMANCE as a marquee, not a metric. Inter handles the 16px substance, white 24px-radius pills punch through the dark, and 3D payment ribbons orbit the type; enterprise payments styled like a motorsport livery.

Tokens

Checkout.com's decoded design system: background #000000, text #ECECEE, accent #186AFF, link #BBFF00, primary #186AFF; type scale h1 90px / h2 90px / body 12px; 4px spacing base; 10px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #186AFF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#000000`
surface	`#0E0E0E`
border	`#232323`
text	`#ECECEE`
text_muted	`#929293`
primary	`#186AFF`
accent	`#186AFF`
link	`#BBFF00`
secondary	`#0C1142`
button_bg	`#186AFF`
button_text	`#FFFFFF`

Using these colors

Action color #186AFF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, button_bg are all #186AFF — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #186AFF — 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 #BBFF00 — inline text links and link-styled controls.
secondary #0C1142 — 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.

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#186AFF` — 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 `#186AFF` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#186AFF` — 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** `#BBFF00` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **secondary** `#0C1142` — 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` 82.5% · `#FFFFFF` 11.2% · `#B3B7BE` 2.5% · `#344E7D` 1.7%

- Weight ladder: 300 · 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 64px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 80px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 10px
- button: 6px
- card: 8px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#186AFF` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 6px | 12px 24px 12px 24px | 500 14px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255) | 6px | 11px 23px 11px 23px | 500 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#1B5DD6`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- transition: `background-color 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 18px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 300ms (dominant) · 200ms · 250ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)`
- animated properties: color, background-color, opacity, max-height

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

## 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.
