# Apocalypse Coffee Roasters Design System

## Overview

Apocalypse Coffee Roasters describes itself as: “Apocalypse Coffee Roasters is a family-owned and operated business that utilizes eco-friendly roasting technology to roast the finest organic coffee beans.” The interface is dark, built on **Near Black (#090705)** with **Warm Mist (#F0EDE8)** text, and **Orange (#E06D2D)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **Arnel** and **Akzidenz Grotesk BE**, with **DM Mono** for code. Headlines run large; body text is 15px. The surface language is flat. Corners are mostly 44px.

Measured from [apocalypsecoffee.com](https://apocalypsecoffee.com/) on October 31, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 347 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 15 roles.

- **Near Black (#090705):** Page background, seen 2 times. Token `background`, CSS `--black`.
- **Warm Mist (#F0EDE8):** Primary text and headings, seen 14 times. Token `on-surface`, CSS `--button-039-color`.
- **Gray (#888888):** Secondary text, seen 16 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Warm Slate (#7A756D):** Muted text and metadata, seen 4 times. Token `on-surface-muted`.
- **Warm Graphite (#4A443D):** Subtle text and placeholders, seen 4 times. Token `on-surface-subtle`.
- **Near Black (#080808):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-low`.
- **Charcoal (#0D0D0D):** Cards and panels, seen 3 times. Token `surface-container`, CSS `--d0`.
- **Charcoal (#141414):** Hover and pressed fills, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-high`, CSS `--d1`.
- **Charcoal (#181818):** Highest raised elements, seen 11 times. Token `surface-container-highest`.
- **Charcoal (#1A1A1A):** Borders and dividers, seen 2 times. Token `outline`, CSS `--ink`.
- **Orange (#E06D2D):** Primary buttons and calls to action, seen 97 times. Token `primary`, CSS `--button-039-color-background`.
- **Charcoal (#1A1A1A):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Vivid Orange (#F9AC1C):** Accent (CSS variable). Token `secondary`.
- **Dark Green (#2A8A4A):** Accent in text, fills and borders, seen 3 times. Token `tertiary`.
- **Green (#30A050):** Success and positive states, seen 1 time. Token `success`, CSS `--green`.

## Typography

**Arnel**, **Akzidenz Grotesk BE** and **DM Mono** (monospace) share the interface. Fallback stack: `Arnel, Bebas Neue, sans-serif`. Other loaded fonts: Lovely Mess, GTStandard-M.

- **display-hero:** Arnel 129.5px at weight 400, line height 0.92, tracking 0.02em, uppercase (46px on mobile). Oversized hero statements.
- **headline-display:** Arnel 95px at weight 400, line height 0.92, tracking 0.02em, uppercase. Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Arnel 69px at weight 400, line height 0.92, tracking 0.04em. Section headings (h2).
- **headline-md:** Arnel 34.5px at weight 400, line height 1.02, tracking 0.02em, uppercase (22px on mobile). Sub-section headings.
- **body-md:** Akzidenz Grotesk BE 15px at weight 400, line height 1.65. Body text.
- **body-lg:** Akzidenz Grotesk BE 18px at weight 400, line height 1. Lead paragraphs.
- **label-md:** Akzidenz Grotesk BE 13px at weight 500, line height 1, tracking 0.06em. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **code:** DM Mono 14px at weight 400, line height 1.65, tracking 0.04em. Code and technical values.

## Layout

Spacing does not follow a strict grid: 47% of measured values are multiples of 4px, so match the measured steps rather than rounding to a grid.

- **Scale:** xs 3px, sm 6px, md 16px, lg 20px, xl 40px.
- **Sections:** 72px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 14px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Page margin:** 52px on each side of full-width sections.
- **Breakpoints:** 767px, 768px, 1023px, 1024px.

## Elevation & Depth

The design is flat: no shadows were measured. Hierarchy comes from tonal surface steps (#080808 → #0D0D0D → #141414 → #181818) and #1A1A1A borders.

## Shapes

Most elements use 44px corners. Measured radii, most used first:

- **xl (44px):** 108 elements.
- **md (12px):** 36 elements.
- **sm (2px):** 20 elements.
- **lg (12.8px):** 16 elements.
- **full (9999px):** 16 elements.

## Components

Measured from the rendered page. Token values reference the tokens above.

- **button-primary (“LIGHT”):** #E06D2D fill, #1A1A1A text, 13px/500, 12px radius, padding 0px 16px.
- **button-secondary (“Previous roast”):** #DDD7CC fill, #1A1A1A text, 13.3333px/400, 12.8px radius, padding 0px.
- **button-ghost (“MENU”):** transparent fill, #F0EDE8 text, 18px/500, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #090705 for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #080808, #0D0D0D, #141414, #181818.
- Do keep text in 4 levels: #F0EDE8, #888888, #7A756D, #4A443D.
- Do reserve #E06D2D for primary actions and key highlights.
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (6px, 16px, 20px).
- Do use 44px corners on most elements; larger surfaces also use 12px, 2px and 12.8px.
- Don't use #7A756D for body text; it reaches 4.40:1 on #090705. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't use #4A443D for body text; it reaches 2.09:1 on #090705. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't add drop shadows for depth; use tonal surfaces.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Arnel, Akzidenz Grotesk BE and DM Mono.
- Don't use #E06D2D for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.4s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.2s, 0.32s, 0.25s, 0.15s.

- **Easing:** `ease`, `cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.8, 0.25, 1)`, `cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.72, 0, 1)`.
- **Reduced motion:** the page responds to `prefers-reduced-motion`.
