Tokens

Nomad's decoded design system: background #F3F3F3, text #000000, accent #000000, link #000000, primary #000000; type scale h1 77px / h2 56px / body 14px; 5px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #000000 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# Nomad — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F3F3F3` |
| surface | `#E4E4E4` |
| border | `#CECECE` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#5C5C5C` |
| primary | `#000000` |
| accent | `#000000` |
| link | `#000000` |
| button_bg | `#000000` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#000000` — 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 `#000000` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#000000` — 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.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#121C18` 18% · `#7B8C8A` 17.2% · `#FFFFFF` 15.3% · `#D0D2D1` 14.6%

## Typography

- Heading: **Gotham-Bold** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Gotham-Book** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 77px / 400 · lh 73px · tracking -3.08px |
| h2 | 56px / 400 · lh 53px · tracking -2.24px |
| h3 | 55px / 400 · lh 52px · tracking -2.2px |
| body | 14px / 400 · lh 21px · tracking -0.2px |
| small | 13px / 400 · tracking -0.26px |

- Weight ladder: 325 · 400 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

> **Fonts —** Gotham-Bold may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Gotham-Book may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 5px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 3px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 10px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 20px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 40px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 0px
- button: 4px
- card: 25px
- sharp: 1px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#000000` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 4px | 8px 16px 8px 16px | 700 14px | none |
| secondary | `#F2F2F2` / `#000000` | 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224) | 10px | 6px 18px 6px 18px | 400 13px / -0.26px | rgb(236, 236, 236) 0px -10px 15px 2px inset, rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 0px 2px inset |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 6px 6px -3px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 3px 3px -1.5px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 1px 1px -0.5px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 0px 0px 1px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 150ms · 300ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `ease-out`
- animated properties: opacity, box-shadow, 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.

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| `--desktopContainerHeight` | `700px` |
| `--universalMaxWidth` | `1600px` |

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1560px · common grid: 3-col
- nav: 0px fixed

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 810 | 3 | — | 0/0 | — |
| 899 | 593 | — | — | 40/40 | — |
| 1492 | 466 | 3 | — | 0/0 | — |
| 2241 | 566 | 3 | — | 0/0 | 25/25/50 |
| 2807 | 566 | 3 | — | 0/0 | 25/25/50 |
| 3373 | 316 | 2 | — | 0/0 | — |
| 3689 | 637 | — | — | 40/40 | — |
| 4326 | 466 | 3 | — | 0/0 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.lu--m`×7 @0ms → `div.lu--m`×7 @0ms → `div.lu--m`×7 @0ms → `div.kx4GL`×6 @0ms → `div.kx4GL`×6 @0ms → `div.kx4GL`×6 @0ms
- `div.eCg1g` — opacity 0→1 · transform translateY(-25px)→translateY(0px) — 1000ms ease
- scroll reveal: 3 elements rest at translateY(-32px), animate in over 0.15s ease-out (2 revealed during the drive).

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

## Components (measured)
- link: #FFFFFF · underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 480px · 560px · 768px · 800px · 1000px · 1024px
- mobile (390px): hero 47px · 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.
