# Tabfolio Design System

## Overview

Tabfolio describes itself as: “Framer portfolio template for UX and product designers. Showcase case studies, projects, and experiments with a CMS-powered portfolio featuring responsive layouts, dynamic backgrounds, and flexible content sections.” The interface is light, built on **Snow (#FAFAFA)** with **Cool Slate (#5B5F63)** text and almost no color: actions are carried by contrast, not hue.

Type is set in **Manrope** and **sans-serif**. Headlines run large; body text is 12px. The surface language is flat. Corners are mostly 20px.

Measured from [tabfolio.framer.ai](https://tabfolio.framer.ai/) on November 5, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 92 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 10 roles.

- **Snow (#FAFAFA):** Page background, seen 1 time. Token `background`.
- **Cool Slate (#5B5F63):** Primary text and headings, seen 9 times. Token `on-surface`.
- **Deep Blue (#04111F):** Headings and emphasis, seen 6 times. Token `on-surface-strong`.
- **Cool Slate (#717880):** Secondary text, seen 15 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Mist (#F0F1F3):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-low`.
- **Cool Silver 50% (#DADAE680):** Translucent fill for cards and controls, seen 1 time. Token `overlay`.
- **Mist (#E8EAED):** Borders and dividers, seen 1 time. Token `outline`.
- **Deep Blue (#04111F):** Primary buttons and calls to action, seen 7 times. Token `primary`.
- **Snow (#FAFAFA):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Vivid Indigo (#0000EE):** Accent, seen 1 time. Token `secondary`.

## Typography

**Manrope** and **sans-serif** share the interface. Fallback stack: `Manrope, Manrope Placeholder, sans-serif`. Other loaded fonts: Inter.

- **headline-display:** Manrope 40px at weight 500, line height 1.1 (34px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Manrope 20px at weight 600, line height 1.2 (17px on mobile). Section headings (h2).
- **body-md:** sans-serif 12px at weight 400. Body text.
- **label-lg:** Manrope 16px at weight 500, line height 1.45. Large buttons and tabs.
- **label-md:** Manrope 14px at weight 600, line height 1.5. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **label-sm:** Manrope 12px at weight 600, line height 1.2. Small labels and badges.

## Layout

Spacing does not follow a strict grid: 65% of measured values are multiples of 4px, so match the measured steps rather than rounding to a grid.

- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 8px, md 10px, xl 40px.
- **Sections:** 80px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 10px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Breakpoints:** 809px, 809.98px, 810px, 1279px, 1279.98px.

## Elevation & Depth

The design is flat: no shadows were measured. Hierarchy comes from tonal surface steps (#F0F1F3) and #E8EAED borders.

## Shapes

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

- **md (20px):** 12 elements.
- **sm (11px):** 4 elements.
- **lg (55px):** 4 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-primary (“My latest work”):** #04111F fill, #FAFAFA text, 12px/400, 20px radius, padding 8px 12px.
- **button-primary-hover:** background #04111FDE, text #FAFAFA on hover.
- **button-outline (“Let's chat”):** #F0F1F3 fill, #04111F text, 12px/400, 20px radius, padding 8px 12px.
- **button-outline-hover:** background #E8EAED, text #04111F on hover.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #FAFAFA for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #F0F1F3.
- Do keep text in 3 levels: #5B5F63, #04111F, #717880.
- Do let contrast carry emphasis; primary actions use #04111F on #FAFAFA.
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 10px).
- Do use 20px corners on most elements; larger surfaces also use 11px and 55px.
- Don't use #717880 for body text; it reaches 4.28:1 on #FAFAFA. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't add drop shadows for depth; use tonal surfaces.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Manrope and sans-serif.
- Don't add saturated accent colors; the measured palette is almost entirely neutral.
