Penpot designs open-source in Work Sans at 72px/400, deep indigo #151035 on white, with teal #14CECA buttons at 8px radius and hand-drawn accents scribbled over the grid. Canvas UI and code-inspect panels alternate — the Figma alternative wearing an open-source Google font as a matter of principle, roughed up just enough to feel community-made.

Tokens

Penpot's decoded design system: background #F5F8FB, text #151035, accent #14CECA, link #151035, primary #14CECA; type scale h1 72px / h2 72px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #14CECA — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#F5F8FB`
surface	`#E7EAEF`
border	`#D3D5DD`
text	`#151035`
text_muted	`#6A6880`
primary	`#14CECA`
accent	`#14CECA`
link	`#151035`
secondary	`#006ADC`
button_bg	`#14CECA`
button_text	`#151035`

Using these colors

Action color #14CECA — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, button_bg are all #14CECA — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #14CECA — 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 #151035 — inline text links and link-styled controls.
secondary #006ADC — 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.

# Penpot — Design System

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

Penpot designs open-source in Work Sans at 72px/400, deep indigo #151035 on white, with teal #14CECA buttons at 8px radius and hand-drawn accents scribbled over the grid. Canvas UI and code-inspect panels alternate — the Figma alternative wearing an open-source Google font as a matter of principle, roughed up just enough to feel community-made.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F5F8FB` |
| surface | `#E7EAEF` |
| border | `#D3D5DD` |
| text | `#151035` |

| link | `#151035` |
| secondary | `#006ADC` |
| button_bg | `#14CECA` |
| button_text | `#151035` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#14CECA` — 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 `#14CECA` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#14CECA` — 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** `#151035` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **secondary** `#006ADC` — 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): `#F5F8FB` 80.7% · `#404A50` 13.9% · `#DBF0F0` 5.4%

## Typography

- Heading: **Work Sans**
- Body: **Work Sans**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 72px / 400 · lh 86px |
| h2 | 65px / 400 · lh 78px |
| h3 | 48px / 400 · lh 58px |
| body | 16px / 500 · lh 24px |
| small | 12px / 500 · lh 18px |

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

> **Fonts —** Work Sans — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 64px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 8px
- card: 8px
- sharp: 3px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#14CECA` / `#151035` | none | 8px | 12px 20px 12px 20px | 400 16px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#151035` | 1px solid rgb(21, 16, 53) | 8px | 12px 20px 12px 20px | 400 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#151035`
- primary focus: box-shadow `rgb(150, 199, 242) 0px 0px 0px 3px`
- secondary hover: border `1px solid rgb(20, 206, 202)`
- transition: `background 0.1s ease`

## Shadows (elevation)
- overlay: `rgba(99, 101, 105, 0.25) 0px 10px 30px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 1000ms (dominant) · 100ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `linear`
- animated properties: background

Micro-interactions use the dominant duration + easing; nothing on the page animates slower than the longest duration above — don't invent springier motion.

## Layout (measured)
- container max 800px · common grid: 5-col
- nav: 80px sticky

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 1730 | 5 | — | 64/0 | 6/16/57/16/6 |
| 1449 | 361 | 5 | — | 0/0 | 6/16/57/16/6 |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.Marquee_marqueeContent__`×2 @0ms

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

## Components (measured)
- link: #151035 · no underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 500px · 768px · 1024px · 1920px
- mobile (390px): hero 48px · body 16px · nav: hamburger

## 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.
