Drizzle — Design System

light · modern · medium · custom · confidence 90% · deep decode

Drizzle ORM ships zero webfonts on purpose: the ui-sans-serif system stack at 32-40px/600-700, docs-site layout, 20px-radius ghost buttons, and memes embedded as first-class content ('ORM for you to settle... ship ship ship'). The anti-design is the design — a TypeScript ORM whose landing page performs the same lightweight, no-dependency ethos as its bundle size.

Tokens

Drizzle's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #3B3F4B, accent #F6F6F7, link #3B3F4B, primary #282B3B; type scale h1 16px / h2 32px / body 12px; 4px spacing base; 4px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #F6F6F7 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# Drizzle — Design System

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

Drizzle ORM ships zero webfonts on purpose: the ui-sans-serif system stack at 32-40px/600-700, docs-site layout, 20px-radius ghost buttons, and memes embedded as first-class content ('ORM for you to settle... ship ship ship'). The anti-design is the design — a TypeScript ORM whose landing page performs the same lightweight, no-dependency ethos as its bundle size.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F3F3F4` |
| border | `#E1E2E4` |
| text | `#3B3F4B` |
| text_muted | `#85878F` |
| primary | `#282B3B` |
| accent | `#F6F6F7` |
| link | `#3B3F4B` |
| secondary | `#4B5563` |
| button_bg | `#F6F6F7` |
| button_text | `#222222` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#F6F6F7` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#F6F6F7` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#F6F6F7` — 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.
- **primary** `#282B3B` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #F6F6F7, not this.
- **link** `#3B3F4B` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #F6F6F7).
- **secondary** `#4B5563` — 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` 90.4% · `#F1F1F1` 4.1% · `#D3D8D9` 2.9% · `#858784` 2.6% — the action color covers ~4.1% of the page; keep it that scarce.

## Typography

- Heading: **Roboto**
- Body: **Roboto**
- Mono: **monospace** _(measured)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 40px / 700 · lh 48px |
| h2 | 32px / 600 · lh 48px |
| h3 | 30px / 600 · lh 48px |
| body | 12px / 500 · lh 17px |
| small | 11px / 400 · lh 17px |
| eyebrow | 10px / 600 · tracking 1px |

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

> **Fonts —** Roboto — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 3px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 4px
- button: 0px
- card: 50px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#4B5563` | none | 20px | 8px 10px 8px 10px | 600 14px | none |
| secondary | `#F6F6F7` / `#222222` | none | 3px | 0px 0px 0px 0px | 400 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: color `#000000`
- secondary hover: background `#EFF0F3`
- transition: `all 0.2s ease`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075) 0px 2px 4px 0px`
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02) 0px 2px 4px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 1px 0px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 300ms · 100ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: opacity, filter, color, 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.

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

| Token | Value |

_…and 23 more measured on the page._

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 910px · common grid: 2-col
- nav: 30px

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.header-button-arrow`×4 @0ms → `kbd.DocSearch-Button-Key`×2 @0ms
- scroll reveal: 7 elements rest at translateY(10px) (6 revealed during the drive).

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

## Components (measured)
- card ×11: pad 8px 12px 8px 12px · r 8px · border 1px solid rgb(232, 232, 232) · bg #FFFFFF
  - hover: font-weight `500` · letter-spacing `normal`
- link: #444444 · underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 528px · 599px · 768px · 900px · 1024px · 1280px
- mobile (390px): 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.
