Deel hires globally in Bagoss: the Condensed cut at 60px/500 over world-map heroes, Bagoss Standard at 16-20px, and full-pill 200px-radius ink buttons. Compliance cards and payroll UI tile beneath in Deel blue — global employment made to feel like one coherent product, which is exactly the promise the single-family type system performs.

Tokens

Deel's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #1B1B1B, accent #5938B7, link #B1D8FC, primary #5938B7; type scale h1 60px / h2 44px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 16px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #5938B7 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# Deel — Design System

> light, professional, medium, tailwind — deep decode (measured live)

Deel hires globally in Bagoss: the Condensed cut at 60px/500 over world-map heroes, Bagoss Standard at 16-20px, and full-pill 200px-radius ink buttons. Compliance cards and payroll UI tile beneath in Deel blue — global employment made to feel like one coherent product, which is exactly the promise the single-family type system performs.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F1F1F1` |
| border | `#DCDCDC` |
| text | `#1B1B1B` |
| text_muted | `#717171` |
| primary | `#5938B7` |
| accent | `#5938B7` |
| link | `#B1D8FC` |
| secondary | `#FFCF25` |
| button_bg | `#5938B7` |
| button_text | `#0000EE` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#5938B7` — 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 `#5938B7` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#5938B7` — 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** `#B1D8FC` — fails contrast on the background (~1.5:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
- **secondary** `#FFCF25` — 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): `#FFFFFF` 42.8% · `#201547` 18.8% · `#19171F` 9.8% · `#4B3A5D` 8.1%

## Typography

- Heading: **Bagoss Condensed** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Bagoss Standard** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 64px / 600 · lh 64px · tracking 0.32px |
| h2 | 60px / 500 · lh 63px · tracking -0.19px |
| h3 | 44px / 500 · lh 46px · tracking -0.22px |
| body | 20px / 400 · lh 32px · tracking -0.2px |
| small | 18px / 400 · lh 29px · tracking -0.09px |
| eyebrow | 13px / 500 · tracking 0.78px |

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

> **Fonts —** Bagoss Condensed may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Bagoss Standard may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 12px, 15px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 128px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 16px
- button: 100px
- card: 14px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#1B1B1B` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 200px | 8px 16px 8px 16px | 500 14px / 0.21px | none |
| secondary | `#CFD0D6` / `#1B1B1B` | 2px solid rgb(207, 208, 214) | 200px | 15px 15px 15px 15px | 500 15px | rgba(0, 0, 8, 0.08) 0px 4px 8px 0px |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#4E4E4E`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- transition: `all 0.1s ease-in-out`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 8, 0.08) 0px 4px 8px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 100ms · 150ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: fill, color, transform, 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.

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.flex`×4 @0ms → `div.CybotEdge`×2 @980ms → `div.MuiBox-root` @1851ms
- `div.MuiBox-root` — opacity 0→1 · maxHeight 0px→200px — 400ms ease-out
- `div.flex` ×2 — transform translate(0px)→translate(-50%) — 30000ms · loops
- scroll reveal: 1 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) (0 revealed during the drive).

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

## Components (measured)
- card ×6: pad 24px 24px 24px 24px · r 16px · bg #F7F5F2
  - hover: box-shadow `` · font-weight `400` · letter-spacing `normal`
- link: #1B1B1B · no underline — hover #4E4E4E

- mobile (390px): hero 38px · 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.
