# Faheem Design System

## Overview

Faheem describes itself as: “Faheem — Mid-Level UI/UX & Product Designer building cinematic digital experiences, design systems, and web applications. AI-paired workflow (Figma + Agents).” The interface is dark, built on **Near Black (#0A0A0A)** with **Snow (#F5F5F5)** text, and **Vivid Red (#FF4D12)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **Inter**. Headlines run large with tight negative tracking; body text is 16px. Depth comes from soft drop shadows. Corners are mostly 20px.

Measured from [faheem.work](https://www.faheem.work/) on November 5, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 145 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 16 roles, plus gradient stops #FF4D12, #FF8C00.

- **Near Black (#0A0A0A):** Page background, seen 7 times. Token `background`, CSS `--bg-color`.
- **Snow (#F5F5F5):** Primary text and headings, seen 35 times. Token `on-surface`, CSS `--text-color`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Headings and emphasis, seen 22 times. Token `on-surface-strong`.
- **Silver (#CECECE):** Secondary text, seen 3 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Gray (#9D9D9D):** Muted text and metadata, seen 4 times. Token `on-surface-muted`.
- **Charcoal (#0C0C0C):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 4 times. Token `surface-container-low`.
- **Charcoal 92% (#0D0E12EB):** Cards and panels, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container`.
- **Near Black (#050505):** Hover and pressed fills, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-high`.
- **Charcoal (#111111):** Highest raised elements, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-highest`.
- **Near Black 40% (#00000066):** Translucent fill for cards and controls, seen 2 times. Token `overlay`.
- **White 8% (#FFFFFF14):** Stronger translucent fill, seen 1 time. Token `overlay-strong`.
- **White 5% (#FFFFFF0D):** Borders and dividers, seen 4 times. Token `outline`.
- **White 10% (#FFFFFF1A):** Secondary dividers, seen 3 times. Token `outline-variant`.
- **Vivid Red (#FF4D12):** Primary buttons and calls to action, seen 20 times. Token `primary`, CSS `--accent-color`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Vivid Amber (#FBBF24):** Accent, seen 2 times. Token `secondary`.

## Typography

**Inter** carries the whole interface. Fallback stack: `Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont`.

- **headline-display:** Inter 115px at weight 900, line height 0.85, tracking -0.05em, uppercase (40px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Inter 29px at weight 700, line height 1.2, tracking -0.04em. Section headings (h2).
- **body-md:** Inter 16px at weight 400, line height 1.2. Body text.
- **body-lg:** Inter 22.5px at weight 700, line height 1.2. Lead paragraphs.
- **body-sm:** Inter 15px at weight 400, line height 1.5. Secondary and small text.
- **caption:** Inter 13px at weight 400, line height 1.6. Captions and fine print.
- **label-lg:** Inter 15px at weight 500, line height 1.2. Large buttons and tabs.
- **label-md:** Inter 14.5px at weight 700, line height 1.2, tracking 0.05em. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **label-sm:** Inter 13px at weight 500, line height 1.2. Small labels and badges.

## Layout

Spacing is mostly on a 4px grid (83% of measured values), with some off-grid steps. Match the measured scale rather than rounding everything.

- **Scale:** sm 8px, md 16px, lg 24px, xl 48px.
- **Sections:** 192px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 16px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Page margin:** 48px on each side of full-width sections.

## Elevation & Depth

Raised elements use soft drop shadows. The most used recipes:

- `rgba(255, 77, 18, 0.4) 0px 4px 16px 0px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 0px 12px 36px 0px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8) 0px 24px 70px 0px, rgba(255, 77, 18, 0.2) 0px 0px 40px 0px`

Hairline rings and inset highlights also appear: `rgba(255, 77, 18, 0.11) 0px 0px 0px 6.75238px`.

## Shapes

Most elements use 20px corners. Measured radii, most used first:

- **md (20px):** 20 elements.
- **xl (100px):** 20 elements.
- **full (9999px):** 12 elements.
- **sm (16px):** 8 elements.
- **lg (28px):** 4 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-primary (“Connect on LinkedIn”):** #FF4D12 fill, #FFFFFF text, 14.08px/600, 100px radius, padding 10px 20px, shadow `rgba(255, 77, 18, 0.4) 0px 4px 16px 0px`.
- **button-primary-hover:** background #FF6026, text #FFFFFF on hover.
- **button-outline (“Ask AI”):** #0D0E12EB fill, #FFFFFF text, 13.3333px/400, 100px radius, padding 8px 18px 8px 8px, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 0px 12px 36px 0px`.
- **button-ghost (“VIEW ALL PROJECTS”):** transparent fill, #F5F5F5 text, 14.4px/700, 100px radius, padding 12.8px 24px, border 1px solid #FFFFFF1A.
- **input-field (“Enter email address”):** transparent fill, #F5F5F5 text, 16px/400, padding 0px.
- **card:** #0C0C0C fill, #F5F5F5 text, 16px/400, 20px radius, padding 40px 0px 0px 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #0A0A0A for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #0C0C0C, #0D0E12EB, #050505, #111111.
- Do keep text in 4 levels: #F5F5F5, #FFFFFF, #CECECE, #9D9D9D.
- Do reserve #FF4D12 for primary actions and key highlights.
- Do set headlines in Inter with tight tracking (-0.05em).
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 16px, 24px).
- Do use 20px corners on most elements; larger surfaces also use 100px, 16px and 28px.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Inter.
- Don't use #FF4D12 for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.45s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.3s, 0.2s, 0.25s, 0.45s. Longer ambient animations run 2s, 0.8s.

- **Easing:** `ease`, `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`, `ease-in-out`.
