# Splice Design System

## Overview

Splice describes itself as: “Splice is the industry's highest quality, royalty-free sample library. Get access to millions of sounds made by top artists, labels, and sound designers.” The interface is dark, built on **Near Black (#000000)** with **White (#FFFFFF)** text, and **Vivid Indigo (#0033FF)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **SoehneBreit** and **InterVariable**. Headlines run large; body text is 14px. The surface language is flat. Corners are mostly 8px.

Measured from [splice.com](https://splice.com/) on November 5, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 342 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 11 roles.

- **Near Black (#000000):** Page background. Token `background`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Primary text and headings, seen 70 times. Token `on-surface`, CSS `--overlay-100`.
- **Silver (#C8C9CC):** Secondary text, seen 52 times. Token `on-surface-variant`, CSS `--text-02`.
- **Cool Gray (#A6A8AD):** Muted text and metadata, seen 13 times. Token `on-surface-muted`.
- **Charcoal (#121214):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 3 times. Token `surface-container-low`, CSS `--text-on-inverse`.
- **Graphite (#232426):** Cards and panels, seen 5 times. Token `surface-container`, CSS `--row-background-hover`.
- **Cool Graphite (#45464D):** Borders and dividers, seen 1 time. Token `outline`, CSS `--surface-action-disabled`.
- **Vivid Indigo (#0033FF):** Brand color in the header. Token `primary`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Vivid Blue (#1253FF):** Secondary buttons, seen 10 times. Token `secondary`.
- **Blue (#528FFF):** Accent in text, fills and borders, seen 17 times. Token `tertiary`, CSS `--link-01`.

## Typography

**SoehneBreit** and **InterVariable** share the interface. Fallback stack: `SoehneBreit, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI`. Other loaded fonts: Soehne.

- **headline-display:** SoehneBreit 48px at weight 400, line height 1.25 (20px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** SoehneBreit 36px at weight 400, line height 1.25, tracking -0.011em (28px on mobile). Section headings (h2).
- **headline-md:** SoehneBreit 28px at weight 400, line height 1.25, tracking -0.007em (20px on mobile). Sub-section headings.
- **headline-sm:** InterVariable 20px at weight 700, line height 1.43. Card and feature titles.
- **body-md:** InterVariable 14px at weight 400, line height 1.43. Body text.
- **body-lg:** InterVariable 16px at weight 400, line height 1.5. Lead paragraphs.
- **body-sm:** InterVariable 13px at weight 400, line height 1.43. Secondary and small text.
- **caption:** InterVariable 12px at weight 400, line height 1.43. Captions and fine print.
- **label-md:** InterVariable 16px at weight 500, line height 1.2. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **label-sm:** InterVariable 14px at weight 700, line height 1.25, tracking -0.002em. Small labels and badges.

## Layout

Spacing is mostly on a 4px grid (75% of measured values), with some off-grid steps. Match the measured scale rather than rounding everything.

- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 8px, md 16px, lg 20px.
- **Gaps:** 32px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Page margin:** 20px on each side of full-width sections.

## Elevation & Depth

The design is flat: no shadows were measured. Hierarchy comes from tonal surface steps (#121214 → #232426) and #45464D borders.

## Shapes

Most elements use 8px corners. Measured radii, most used first:

- **sm (8px):** 48 elements.
- **md (64px):** 40 elements.
- **full (9999px):** 20 elements.
- **lg (100px):** 4 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-primary (“Try now”):** #1253FF fill, #FFFFFF text, 18px/500, 64px radius, padding 13.5px 32px.
- **button-primary-hover:** background #0033FF, text #FFFFFF on hover.
- **button-secondary (“Try now”):** #FFFFFF fill, #121214 text, 16px/500, 100px radius, padding 8px 20px, border 1px solid #C8C9CC.
- **button-tertiary (“Play rss_90_vinyl_cut_free_Emin.”):** #232426 fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/500, 50% radius, padding 7.5px 20px, border 1px solid #63656D.
- **button-ghost (“Play video”):** transparent fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/500, 8px radius, padding 11.01px 32px, border 1px solid #45464D.
- **link:** transparent fill, #C8C9CC text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #000000 for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #121214, #232426.
- Do keep text in 3 levels: #FFFFFF, #C8C9CC, #A6A8AD.
- Do use #0033FF as the brand accent: header, logo and key highlights.
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 16px, 20px).
- Do use 8px corners on most elements; larger surfaces also use 64px and 100px.
- Don't add drop shadows for depth; use tonal surfaces.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond SoehneBreit and InterVariable.
- Don't use #0033FF for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.2s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.1s, 0.2s. Longer ambient animations run 0.85s, 1.105s.

- **Easing:** `ease-out`, `ease`, `linear(0 0%, 0.008 1.1%, 0.034 2.3%, 0.134 4.9%, 0.264 7.3%, 0.683 14.3%, 0.797 16.5%, 0.89 18.6%, 0.967 20.7%, 1.027 22.8%, 1.073 25%, 1.104 27.3%, 1.123 30.6%, 1.119 34.3%, 1.018 49.5%, 0.988 58.6%, 0.985 65.2%, 1 84.5%, 1 100%)`.
- **Reduced motion:** the page responds to `prefers-reduced-motion`.
