# Statotech Systems Design System

## Overview

Statotech Systems describes itself as: “Statotech Systems builds software products and custom solutions for Zimbabwean businesses. Point of sale, school management, clinic software, and more.” The interface is dark, built on **Cool Charcoal (#0A0C10)** with **Light Blue (#AFB8C4)** text, and **Dark Blue (#143466)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **Inter Tight** and **Inter**, with **IBM Plex Mono** for code. Headlines run large with tight negative tracking; body text is 14px. Depth comes from soft drop shadows. Controls are pill-shaped.

Measured from [statotec.com](https://statotec.com/) on November 5, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 225 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 17 roles.

- **Cool Charcoal (#0A0C10):** Page background, seen 5 times. Token `background`, CSS `--s-text`.
- **Light Blue (#AFB8C4):** Primary text and headings, seen 49 times. Token `on-surface`.
- **Snow (#F5F7FA):** Headings and emphasis, seen 9 times. Token `on-surface-strong`.
- **Cool Gray (#79838F):** Secondary text, seen 13 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Cool Slate (#666F7B):** Muted text and metadata, seen 4 times. Token `on-surface-muted`, CSS `--text-muted`.
- **Near Black (#07080B):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-low`.
- **Cool Charcoal (#12161D):** Cards and panels, seen 3 times. Token `surface-container`, CSS `--ink-2`.
- **White 16% (#FFFFFF29):** Translucent fill for cards and controls, seen 7 times. Token `overlay`.
- **White 22% (#FFFFFF38):** Stronger translucent fill, seen 2 times. Token `overlay-strong`.
- **Cool Charcoal 10% (#0A0C101A):** Borders and dividers, seen 14 times. Token `outline`.
- **White 16% (#FFFFFF29):** Secondary dividers, seen 8 times. Token `outline-variant`.
- **Dark Blue (#143466):** Brand accent (CSS variable), seen 9 times. Token `primary`, CSS `--brand`.
- **Light Blue (#AFB8C4):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** High-contrast fills, seen 9 times. Token `inverse-surface`, CSS `--s-btn-text`.
- **Dark Blue (#1D4A8C):** Accent (CSS variable). Token `secondary`.
- **Light Blue (#9AC4FF):** Accent (CSS variable). Token `tertiary`.
- **Teal (#3DDC97):** Success and positive states, seen 27 times. Token `success`, CSS `--accent`.

## Typography

**Inter Tight**, **Inter** and **IBM Plex Mono** (monospace) share the interface. Fallback stack: `Inter Tight, Inter Tight Fallback, ui-sans-serif, system-ui`.

- **headline-display:** Inter Tight 84px at weight 600, line height 0.98, tracking -0.035em (48px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Inter Tight 48px at weight 600, line height 1.1, tracking -0.025em (29px on mobile). Section headings (h2).
- **body-md:** Inter 14px at weight 400, line height 1.65. Body text.
- **body-lg:** Inter 15px at weight 400, line height 1.6. Lead paragraphs.
- **label-lg:** Inter 16px at weight 400, line height 1.65. Large buttons and tabs.
- **label-md:** Inter Tight 15px at weight 600, line height 1.25, tracking -0.02em. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **label-sm:** Inter Tight 14px at weight 500, line height 1.65, tracking -0.01em. Small labels and badges.
- **code:** IBM Plex Mono 11px at weight 400, line height 1.65, tracking 0.08em. Code and technical values.

## Layout

Spacing is mostly on a 4px grid (73% 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, xl 40px.
- **Sections:** 89.28px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 8px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Breakpoints:** 380px, 560px, 640px, 900px, 1024px.

## Elevation & Depth

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

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 0px 10px 24px -10px`
- `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.035) 0px 0px 0px 12px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85) 0px 22px 54px -18px`
- `rgba(10, 12, 16, 0.05) 0px 1px 2px 0px, rgba(10, 12, 16, 0.14) 0px 14px 30px -12px`

Hairline rings and inset highlights also appear: `color(srgb 0.431373 0.658824 1 / 0.22) 0px 0px 0px 3px`.

## Shapes

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

- **full (9999px):** 144 elements.
- **xs (2px):** 32 elements.
- **lg (16px):** 28 elements.
- **md (12px):** 24 elements.
- **xl (20px):** 12 elements.
- **sm (8px):** 8 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-primary (“Products”):** #143466 fill, #AFB8C4 text, 15px/500, 1px radius, padding 0px.
- **button-primary-hover:** background #143466, text #F5F7FA on hover.
- **button-secondary (“Sign in”):** #3DDC97 fill, #04241A text, 15px/600, 999px radius, padding 9px 20px.
- **button-secondary-hover:** background #5FE8AB, text #04241A on hover.
- **button-tertiary (“STATOTECH POS”):** #F7F8FA fill, #5F8A72 text, 16px/400, 16px radius, padding 0px, border 1px solid #FFFFFF29, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 0px 10px 24px -10px`.
- **button-ghost (“Explore products”):** transparent fill, #F5F7FA text, 16px/600, 999px radius, padding 16px 30px, border 1px solid #FFFFFF38.
- **link:** transparent fill, #AFB8C4 text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #0A0C10 for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #07080B, #12161D.
- Do keep text in 4 levels: #AFB8C4, #F5F7FA, #79838F, #666F7B.
- Do use #143466 as the brand accent: header, logo and key highlights.
- Do set headlines in Inter Tight with tight tracking (-0.035em).
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 16px, 20px).
- Do make buttons and chips fully rounded (9999px); most other elements use 2px corners.
- Don't use #666F7B for body text; it reaches 3.84:1 on #0A0C10. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Inter Tight, Inter and IBM Plex Mono.
- Don't use #143466 for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.24s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.24s. Longer ambient animations run 3.4s, 5.2s, 70s.

- **Easing:** `cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0, 1)`, `linear`, `cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.4, 0.64, 1)`.
- **Reduced motion:** the page responds to `prefers-reduced-motion`.
