Gymshark — Design System
Gymshark runs retail at commerce scale: Montserrat at a compact 32px/700 for category headers, Roboto at 14px for product cards, and zero-radius black-and-white buttons ('Shop women's') that defer entirely to athlete photography. The type system is deliberately gym-plain — full-bleed campaign imagery does the shouting, the grid just racks the weights.
This is a static, crawlable rendering for search & AI engines. The interactive version — filters, live decode console, copy & export — is at https://mozaika.design/ds/gymshark.
Tokens
Gymshark's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #8C217A, link #007DB5, primary #8C217A; type scale h1 32px / h2 25px / body 14px; 4px spacing base; 5px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #8C217A — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# Gymshark — Design System
> light, modern, high, custom — deep decode (measured live)
Gymshark runs retail at commerce scale: Montserrat at a compact 32px/700 for category headers, Roboto at 14px for product cards, and zero-radius black-and-white buttons ('Shop women's') that defer entirely to athlete photography. The type system is deliberately gym-plain — full-bleed campaign imagery does the shouting, the grid just racks the weights.
## Colors
| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#8C217A` |
| accent | `#8C217A` |
| link | `#007DB5` |
| secondary | `#C69735` |
| button_bg | `#8C217A` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |
**Using these colors**
- **Action color** `#8C217A` — 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 `#8C217A` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#8C217A` — 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** `#007DB5` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **secondary** `#C69735` — 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): `#716E68` 28.8% · `#030101` 19.3% · `#21120D` 18.7% · `#392A23` 12.6%
## Typography

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |

| body | 14px / 400 · lh 19px |
| small | 13px / 700 · lh 16px |
- Weight ladder: 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, 5px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 15px, 16px, 24px, 32px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 40px top/bottom padding per section (measured)
## Radius
- base: 5px
- button: 0px
- card: 4px
- sharp: 2px
## Buttons
| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#53565A` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 56px | 12.5px 32px 12.5px 32px | 700 14px | none |
| secondary | `#FFFFFF` / `#000000` | 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255) | 2px | 12px 10px 12px 10px | 600 11.382px / 0.5691px | none |
**States (measured, not guessed)**
- primary hover: background `#6E6E6E`
- primary focus: outline `1px solid rgb(0, 125, 181)`
## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 18px 0px`
## Motion
- durations: 125ms (dominant) · 200ms · 150ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: color, transform, opacity, 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.

- `span` ×2 — transform rotate(0deg)→rotate(360deg) — 1000ms · loops
- scroll reveal: 10 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 1000ms (0 revealed during the drive).
Rebuild the timeline, not just the durations — order, delays and staggers above are the choreography.

## 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.
