Tokens

Klim Type Foundry's decoded design system: background #000000, text #FFFFFF, accent #D33C03, link #0000FF, primary #D33C03; type scale h1 16px / h2 16px / body 16px; 10px spacing base; 2px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #D33C03 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #D33C03 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent are all #D33C03 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #D33C03 — 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 #0000FF — fails contrast on the background (~2.4:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
• secondary #24A7F2 — 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.

# Klim Type Foundry — Design System

> dark, professional, medium, custom — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#000000` |
| surface | `#0F0F0F` |
| border | `#262626` |
| text | `#FFFFFF` |
| text_muted | `#9E9E9E` |
| primary | `#D33C03` |
| accent | `#D33C03` |
| link | `#0000FF` |
| secondary | `#24A7F2` |
| button_bg | `transparent` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#D33C03` — 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` are all `#D33C03` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#D33C03` — 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** `#0000FF` — fails contrast on the background (~2.4:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
- **secondary** `#24A7F2` — 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): `#D33C03` 94.4% · `#000000` 5% · `#8C2802` 0.4% · `#5B5B5B` 0.1%

## Typography

- Heading: **Helvetica**
- Body: **Helvetica**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 21px |

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

> **Fonts —** Helvetica — system font, no web load needed.

## Spacing
- base unit: 10px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 5px, 8px, 10px, 20px, 30px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 2px
- button: 2px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#D33C03` / `#000000` | none | 2px | 0px 8px 0px 8px | 400 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

_…and 75 more measured on the page._

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

## Layout (measured)
- nav: 48px sticky

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.Navbar__LoadingIcon-sc-q` @0ms

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 430px · 768px · 1024px · 1680px
- mobile (390px): body 14px · 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.
