# Gothic Templates — Design System

> dark, editorial, dramatic, react

A cohesive open-source template design system — editorial dark theme with Fustat headings.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#101314` |
| surface | `#1C2021` |
| border | `#303435` |
| text | `#E8F1F6` |
| text_muted | `#959CA0` |
| primary | `#E8F1F6` |
| accent | `#E8F1F6` |
| link | `#E8F1F6` |
| secondary | `#101314` |
| button_bg | `#E8F1F6` |
| button_text | `#0A0A0A` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#E8F1F6` — 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`, `link`, `button_bg` are all `#E8F1F6` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#E8F1F6` — 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.
- **secondary** `#101314` — 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.

## Typography

- Heading: **Fustat** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Fustat** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- h1: 31px
- h2: 25px
- body: 16px

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px
- scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 8px

## Primary button
- bg `#E8F1F6` · text `#0A0A0A` · radius 8px

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 350ms

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.
