Tokens

Wealthsimple's decoded design system: background #FCFCFC, text #32302F, accent #F5F3EF, link #4B5763, primary #FEF8CA; type scale h1 64px / h2 48px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #F5F3EF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# Wealthsimple — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FCFCFC` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#DDDDDD` |
| text | `#32302F` |
| text_muted | `#7E7D7C` |
| primary | `#FEF8CA` |
| accent | `#F5F3EF` |
| link | `#4B5763` |
| secondary | `#737A61` |
| button_bg | `#F5F3EF` |
| button_text | `#32302F` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#F5F3EF` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#F5F3EF` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#F5F3EF` — 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.
- **primary** `#FEF8CA` — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #F5F3EF).
- **link** `#4B5763` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **secondary** `#737A61` — 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): `#6C6761` 63.3% · `#8A7D79` 25.3% · `#DBDAD8` 7.5% · `#50524B` 3.8%

## Typography

- Heading: **Tiempos** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **The Future** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 128px / 400 · lh 148px · tracking -1.28px |
| h2 | 64px / 400 · lh 74px · tracking -0.64px |
| h3 | 48px / 500 · lh 56px · tracking 0.24px |
| body | 20px / 400 · lh 28px · tracking 0.1px |
| small | 16px / 500 · lh 22px · tracking 0.08px |

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

> **Fonts —** Tiempos is proprietary — closest free match: Newsreader (Google). Load Newsreader; keep Tiempos first so licensed users still get it. The Future may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 8px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px, 64px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 160px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 0px
- card: 12px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#32302F` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 9999px | 12px 16px 12px 16px | 500 14px / 0.07px | none |
| secondary | `color(srgb 0.196078 0.188235 0.184314 / 0.1)` / `#FCFCFC` | none | 9999px | 20px 32px 20px 32px | 500 16px / 0.08px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `color(srgb 0.196078 0.188235 0.184314 / 0.8)`
- secondary hover: background `oklab(0.989726 0.0000494646 0.0000246565 / 0.1)`
- transition: `border-color 0.35s cubic-bezier(0.241, 0.969, 0.635, 0.997)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgba(16, 24, 40, 0.1) 0px 1px 4px 0px, rgba(16, 24, 40, 0.06) 0px 1px 2px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 350ms (dominant) · 914ms · 200ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.241, 0.969, 0.635, 0.997)` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: opacity, background-color, background, border-color

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

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1264px · common grid: 2-col
- nav: 60px relative · backdrop blur(16px) · bg color(srgb 0.988235 0.988235 0.988235 / 0.9)

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 900 | — | — | 0/80 | — |
| 900 | 1042 | — | — | 80/80 | — |
| 1942 | 900 | 2 | — | 160/160 | — |

| 3742 | 1135 | — | — | 160/160 | — |
| 3902 | 815 | — | — | 0/0 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.Chatbot_triggerButtonWra` @0ms
- scroll reveal: 13 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 0.35s ease (3 revealed during the drive).

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 450px · 480px · 640px · 768px · 1024px · 1280px
- mobile (390px): hero 34px · body 18px · 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.
