## 1. Overview

Interface guided by clear visual hierarchy, consistent surfaces, and a controlled semantic palette.
Use the tokens and contracts below as the normative source for accessible, responsive implementation.

> Normative implementation contract: preserve semantic token names, responsive rules, and interaction states when extending the interface.

## 2. Colors and accessibility

### Semantic color tokens

| Token | Hex value | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| background | `#030303` | Primary canvas |
| surface | `#030303` | Raised surfaces |
| text-primary | `#ffffff` | Primary text |
| text-secondary | `#ffffff` | Secondary text |
| text-muted | `#ffffff` | Supporting text |
| text-on-brand | `#ffffff` | Text on brand |
| border | `#121110` | Borders and dividers |
| brand | `#2563eb` | Primary brand action |
| success | `#166534` | Positive state |
| danger | `#b91c1c` | Destructive state |
| warning | `#92400e` | Warning state |
| info | `#075985` | Informational state |
| focus | `#1d4ed8` | Focus ring |

### WCAG AA rules

- Normal text must reach a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1.
- Large text and interface elements must reach a minimum contrast ratio of 3:1.
- Visible focus must maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 3:1 and must not rely on color alone.
- Use only semantic token combinations that meet these ratios.

## 3. Typography

### Family

| Token | Family | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| font-bodyfont | `'Founders Grotesk', sans-serif` | Body and interface text |
| font-monofont | `'Founders Grotesk Mono', sans-serif` | Metadata and code |

### Type scale

| Token | Family | Size | Weight | Line height |
|---|---|---:|---:|---:|
| type-body | `'Founders Grotesk', sans-serif` | `16px` | `500` | `18.4px` |
| type-button | `'Founders Grotesk Mono', sans-serif` | `13px` | `400` | `13px` |
| type-caption | `'Founders Grotesk Mono', sans-serif` | `13px` | `400` | `14.3px` |
| type-headingsmall | `'Founders Grotesk Mono', sans-serif` | `16px` | `400` | `17.6px` |
| type-label | `'Founders Grotesk', sans-serif` | `13px` | `300` | `17.55px` |

## 4. Layout and spacing

### Breakpoints

- **Mobile:** `< 768px` — one-column grid, 16px/24px gutters, and stacked navigation.
- **Tablet:** `768px–1023px` — adaptive grid and 32px/48px gutters.
- **Desktop:** `>= 1024px` — 120px gutters and a container max-width defined by the layout.

### Responsive rules

- **Header:** stack navigation and actions on mobile; keep primary navigation inline from tablet upward.
- **Hero:** use one column on mobile, a balanced two-column composition on tablet, and the full container on desktop.
- **Cards:** stretch to the grid width on mobile, use two columns on tablet, and the defined card grid on desktop.
- **Navigation grid: use one column on mobile, adaptive columns on tablet, and the complete navigation grid on desktop.

### Spacing scale

| Token | Value | Usage |
|---|---:|---|
| space-xs | `3px` | Layout scale |
| space-sm | `5.625px` | Layout scale |
| space-md | `10px` | Layout scale |
| space-lg | `12px` | Layout scale |
| space-xl | `14.6406px` | Layout scale |

## 5. Shapes, borders and depth

### Radii

| Token | Value | Usage |
|---|---:|---|
| radius-sm | `4px` | Compact controls |
| radius-md | `12px` | Cards and surfaces |
| radius-full | `9999px` | Pills and circular controls |

### Borders and depth

- Border width: `var(--ds-border-width)`.
- Border style: `solid`.
- Border color: `var(--ds-color-border)`.
- Use `var(--ds-shadow-sm)` for low elevation and `var(--ds-shadow-inner)` for inner separation.

## 6. Component specification

### Inline Text Link

- **Component:** Text navigation embedded in compact content flow.
- **Typography:** `var(--ds-type-body)`
- **Colors:** `var(--ds-color-brand)` and `var(--ds-color-text-on-brand)` on brand surfaces

### Button — Variant A

- **Component:** Direct interface action.
- **Typography:** `var(--ds-type-body)`
- **Colors:** `var(--ds-color-brand)` and `var(--ds-color-text-on-brand)` on brand surfaces

## 7. Interaction contract

### Universal state rules

| State | Visual behavior |
|---|---|
| Initial state | Use `var(--ds-color-surface)`, `var(--ds-color-text-primary)`, `var(--ds-color-border)`, `var(--ds-type-body)` and `var(--ds-radius-md)`. |
| `:hover` | Increase emphasis with `var(--ds-color-brand-hover)` or `var(--ds-color-surface-hover)`; preserve geometry and layout. |
| `:active` | Apply `var(--ds-color-brand-active)` or `var(--ds-color-surface-active)`; preserve dimensions. |
| `:focus-visible` | Show a ring of `var(--ds-focus-ring-width)` using `var(--ds-color-focus)`, with offset `var(--ds-focus-ring-offset)`. |
| `:disabled` | Use `var(--ds-state-disabled-opacity)`, `cursor: not-allowed` and `pointer-events: none`; remove pointer events. |
