# Hexa Design System

## Overview

Hexa describes itself as: “Hexa is a startup studio partnering with founders to build ambitious companies. We're building in lots of different areas with only one focus: software.” The interface is light, built on **Light Pink (#FF9CDF)** with **Charcoal (#1B1C1E)** text, and **Light Pink (#FFB1E6)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **Pptalisman Condensed** and **Inter**. Headlines run large; body text is 18px. The surface language is flat. Controls are pill-shaped.

Measured from [hexa.com](https://www.hexa.com/) on November 3, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 237 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 15 roles, plus gradient stops #FF9CDF, #FB8144.

- **Light Pink (#FF9CDF):** Page background, seen 1 time. Token `background`.
- **Charcoal (#1B1C1E):** Primary text and headings, seen 10 times. Token `on-surface`, CSS `--black`.
- **Slate (#747474):** Secondary text, seen 18 times. Token `on-surface-variant`, CSS `--dark-600`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Muted text and metadata, seen 2 times. Token `on-surface-muted`, CSS `--white`.
- **Snow (#FBF9F9):** Subtle text and placeholders, seen 16 times. Token `on-surface-subtle`, CSS `--dark-050`.
- **Mist (#F3F1F0):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-low`, CSS `--dark-100`.
- **Snow (#FBF9F9):** Cards and panels, seen 2 times. Token `surface-container`, CSS `--dark-050`.
- **Snow (#FDFDFD):** Hover and pressed fills, seen 6 times. Token `surface-container-high`, CSS `--dark-025`.
- **Snow 15% (#FDFDFD26):** Translucent fill for cards and controls, seen 10 times. Token `overlay`.
- **White 20% (#FFFFFF33):** Stronger translucent fill, seen 3 times. Token `overlay-strong`.
- **Silver (#DAD8D6):** Borders and dividers, seen 3 times. Token `outline`, CSS `--dark-150`.
- **Snow 50% (#FDFDFD80):** Secondary dividers, seen 1 time. Token `outline-variant`.
- **Light Pink (#FFB1E6):** Brand color in the logo, seen 4 times. Token `primary`.
- **Near Black (#000000):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Light Red (#FD8E72):** Accent in logos and imagery. Token `secondary`.

## Typography

**Pptalisman Condensed** and **Inter** share the interface. Fallback stack: `Pptalisman Condensed, Arial, sans-serif`. Other loaded fonts: Sohne, Ibmplexmono, DM Sans Variable.

- **headline-display:** Pptalisman Condensed 104px at weight 400, line height 1, uppercase (57px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Inter 32px at weight 400, line height 1.5. Section headings (h2).
- **body-md:** Inter 18px at weight 400, line height 1. Body text.
- **body-sm:** Inter 16px at weight 400, line height 1.4. Secondary and small text.
- **label-md:** Inter 16px at weight 500, line height 1.1. Buttons, navigation and labels.

## Layout

Spacing is mostly on a 4px grid (82% of measured values), with some off-grid steps. Match the measured scale rather than rounding everything.

- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 8px, md 16px, lg 22px, xl 48px.
- **Gaps:** 16px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Page margin:** 40px on each side of full-width sections.
- **Breakpoints:** 479px, 640px, 767px, 768px, 991px, 1024px.

## Elevation & Depth

The design is flat: no shadows were measured. Hierarchy comes from tonal surface steps (#F3F1F0 → #FBF9F9 → #FDFDFD) and #DAD8D6 borders.

## Shapes

Interactive controls are pill-shaped. Measured radii, most used first:

- **full (9999px):** 60 elements.
- **md (4px):** 28 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-ghost (“Pelagon is hiring”):** transparent fill, #FFFFFF text, 14px/400, 4px radius, padding 4px 0px.
- **input-field (“Enter your email”):** transparent fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/400, padding 16px 0px.
- **link:** transparent fill, #FBF9F9 text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #FF9CDF for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #F3F1F0, #FBF9F9, #FDFDFD.
- Do keep text in 4 levels: #1B1C1E, #747474, #FFFFFF, #FBF9F9.
- Do use #FFB1E6 as the brand accent: header, logo and key highlights.
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 16px, 22px).
- Do make buttons and chips fully rounded (9999px); most other elements use 4px corners.
- Don't use #747474 for body text; it reaches 2.46:1 on #FF9CDF. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't use #FFFFFF for body text; it reaches 1.90:1 on #FF9CDF. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't add drop shadows for depth; use tonal surfaces.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Pptalisman Condensed and Inter.
- Don't use #FFB1E6 for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.4s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.3s, 0.2s, 0.4s.

- **Easing:** `cubic-bezier(0.455, 0.03, 0.515, 0.955)`, `ease-in-out`, `ease`.
