Tokens

Whimsical's decoded design system: background #F7F7F8, text #0A0A0B, accent #250835, link #250835, primary #E9BDED; type scale h1 32px / h2 48px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #250835 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #250835 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent, link, button_bg are all #250835 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #250835 — 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 #E9BDED — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #250835).
• secondary #AB2FED — 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.

# Whimsical — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F7F7F8` |
| surface | `#E8E8E9` |
| border | `#D3D3D4` |
| text | `#0A0A0B` |
| text_muted | `#646465` |
| primary | `#E9BDED` |
| accent | `#250835` |
| link | `#250835` |
| secondary | `#AB2FED` |
| button_bg | `#250835` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#250835` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `link`, `button_bg` are all `#250835` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#250835` — 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** `#E9BDED` — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #250835).
- **secondary** `#AB2FED` — 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): `#BAA1CD` 47.6% · `#F3F3F7` 37.5% · `#2A1F4D` 9.2% · `#DFD7E1` 4.4%

## Typography

- Heading: **Agrandir** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Manrope**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 64px / 700 · lh 70px · tracking -0.64px |
| h2 | 48px / 700 · lh 53px |
| h3 | 24px / 700 · lh 26px · tracking -0.24px |
| body | 16px / 500 · lh 22px |
| small | 14px / 600 · lh 20px · tracking 0.14px |

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

> **Fonts —** Agrandir may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Manrope — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 8px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 24px, 40px, 60px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 120px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 12px
- card: 8px
- sharp: 1px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `color(display-p3 0.133333 0.0392157 0.2)` | none | 12px | 0px 18px 0px 18px | 700 13px / 0.12px | rgba(37, 8, 53, 0.2) 0px 12px 16px -4px |
| secondary | `color(display-p3 0.133333 0.0392157 0.2)` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 12px | 4px 0px 4px 0px | 700 13px / 0.12px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `rgba(34, 10, 51, 0.04)`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- transition: `background-color 0.1s cubic-bezier(0.3, 0.1, 0, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(37, 8, 53, 0.06) 0px 16px 32px -4px`
- button: `rgba(37, 8, 53, 0.2) 0px 12px 16px -4px`
- overlay: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) 0px 16px 40px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 800ms · 100ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.3, 0.1, 0, 1)` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.23, 1.01, 0.6, 0.95)`
- animated properties: transform, color, background-color, opacity

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

_…and 108 more measured on the page._

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1080px · common grid: 2-col
- nav: 84px fixed

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1353 | — | — | 124/0 | — |

| 1961 | 1520 | 2 | 20 | 0/40 | — |
| 3481 | 1663 | 3 | — | 120/120 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div._set1_q9d24_41`×2 @0ms → `section._logoTicker_q9d24_19`×2 @323ms
- scroll reveal: 2 elements rest at translateY(40px), animate in over 1.2s cubic-bezier(0.23, 1.01, 0.6, 0.95) (2 revealed during the drive).

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 375px · 420px · 479px · 720px · 860px · 992px
- mobile (390px): hero 32px · 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.
