# ĀRATI Design System

## Overview

ĀRATI describes itself as: “A living guide to Hindu practice, ritual and reflection. Find a rhythm that brings the sacred into your everyday.” The interface is dark, built on **Cool Charcoal (#101419)** with **Warm Mist (#F5F0E6)** text and almost no color: actions are carried by contrast, not hue.

Type is set in **Cormorant Garamond** and **DM Sans**. Headlines run large with tight negative tracking; body text is 15px. Depth comes from soft drop shadows. Controls are pill-shaped.

Measured from [hindu-spiritual-website-template-56739.revamp.page](https://hindu-spiritual-website-template-56739.revamp.page/) on November 6, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 99 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 13 roles.

- **Cool Charcoal (#101419):** Page background, seen 1 time. Token `background`.
- **Warm Mist (#F5F0E6):** Primary text and headings, seen 7 times. Token `on-surface`.
- **Warm Gray (#B5B3AD):** Secondary text, seen 4 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Warm Gray (#A5A39E):** Muted text and metadata, seen 4 times. Token `on-surface-muted`.
- **Slate (#70716D):** Subtle text and placeholders, seen 3 times. Token `on-surface-subtle`.
- **Cool Charcoal (#172123):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-low`, CSS `--night-soft`.
- **Charcoal 19% (#181B1C30):** Borders and dividers, seen 6 times. Token `outline`, CSS `--line`.
- **Charcoal (#181B1C):** Secondary dividers, seen 1 time. Token `outline-variant`, CSS `--ink`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Primary buttons and calls to action, seen 1 time. Token `primary`, CSS `--tw-ring-offset-color`.
- **Cool Graphite (#202031):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Warm Mist (#F1EEE6):** High-contrast fills, seen 4 times. Token `inverse-surface`, CSS `--canvas`.
- **Orange (#B86724):** Accent in text, fills and borders, seen 13 times. Token `secondary`, CSS `--saffron-deep`.
- **Vivid Orange (#ED9D43):** Accent in text, fills and borders, seen 2 times. Token `tertiary`, CSS `--saffron`.

## Typography

**Cormorant Garamond** and **DM Sans** share the interface. Fallback stack: `Cormorant Garamond, Cormorant Garamond Fallback, Georgia, serif`.

- **headline-display:** Cormorant Garamond 148px at weight 400, line height 0.83, tracking -0.045em (66px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Cormorant Garamond 102px at weight 400, line height 0.88, tracking -0.045em (62.5px on mobile). Section headings (h2).
- **headline-md:** Cormorant Garamond 92px at weight 400, line height 0.91, tracking -0.045em. Sub-section headings.
- **body-md:** DM Sans 15px at weight 400, line height 1.65. Body text.
- **body-lg:** Cormorant Garamond 17px at weight 400, line height 1.65. Lead paragraphs.
- **body-sm:** DM Sans 11px at weight 400, line height 1.65, tracking 0.08em. Secondary and small text.
- **label-md:** DM Sans 9px at weight 600, line height 1.65, tracking 0.19em, uppercase. Buttons, navigation and labels.

## Layout

Spacing does not follow a strict grid: 23% of measured values are multiples of 4px, so match the measured steps rather than rounding to a grid.

- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 8px, md 13px, lg 22px, xl 43.2px.
- **Sections:** 129.6px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 22px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Page margin:** 76.32px on each side of full-width sections.
- **Breakpoints:** 480px, 800px.

## Elevation & Depth

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

- `rgba(32, 32, 49, 0.04) 0px 2px 6px 0px, rgba(32, 32, 49, 0.08) 0px 8px 24px 0px`

## Shapes

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

- **md (12px):** 4 elements.
- **full (9999px):** 4 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-primary (“Made with Revamp”):** #FFFFFF fill, #202031 text, 12px/500, 12px radius, padding 9px 12px, border 1px solid #E5E5EA, shadow `rgba(32, 32, 49, 0.04) 0px 2px 6px 0px, rgba(32, 32, 49, 0.08) 0px 8px 24px 0px`.
- **button-outline (“Explore the way”):** transparent fill, #F5F0E5 text, 15px/400, 50% radius, padding 0px, border 1px solid #F5F0E594.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #101419 for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #172123.
- Do keep text in 4 levels: #F5F0E6, #B5B3AD, #A5A39E, #70716D.
- Do let contrast carry emphasis; primary actions use #FFFFFF on #101419.
- Do set headlines in Cormorant Garamond with tight tracking (-0.045em).
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 13px, 22px).
- Do make buttons and chips fully rounded (9999px); most other elements use 12px corners.
- Don't use #70716D for body text; it reaches 3.76:1 on #101419. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Cormorant Garamond and DM Sans.
- Don't add saturated accent colors; the measured palette is almost entirely neutral.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.28s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.25s, 0.2s, 0.28s.

- **Easing:** `ease`.
- **Reduced motion:** the page responds to `prefers-reduced-motion`.
