# Thibaut Design System

## Overview

Thibaut describes itself as: “Remote 3D Motion Design Freelance based in Lille, France” The interface is dark, built on **Near Black (#000000)** with **White (#FFFFFF)** text and almost no color: actions are carried by contrast, not hue.

Type is set in **Apple Garamond Regular** and **Inter**, with **courier new** for code. Headlines run large; body text is 16px. The surface language is flat. Corners are mostly 6px.

Measured from [thibaut.cool](https://www.thibaut.cool/) on October 23, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 98 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 6 roles.

- **Near Black (#000000):** Page background, seen 1 time. Token `background`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Primary text and headings, seen 31 times. Token `on-surface`.
- **Mist (#EFEFEF):** Secondary text, seen 2 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Gray (#999999):** Muted text and metadata, seen 10 times. Token `on-surface-muted`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Primary actions (the main text color; the palette is monochrome), seen 55 times. Token `primary`.
- **Near Black (#000000):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.

## Typography

**Apple Garamond Regular**, **Inter**, **sans-serif**, **Inter-Medium** and **courier new** (monospace) share the interface. Fallback stack: `Apple Garamond Regular, Apple Garamond Regular Placeholder, sans-serif`.

- **headline-display:** Apple Garamond Regular 80px at weight 400, line height 1 (40px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Apple Garamond Regular 64px at weight 400, line height 1. Section headings (h2).
- **body-md:** Inter 16px at weight 400, line height 1.5. Body text.
- **body-sm:** sans-serif 12px at weight 400. Secondary and small text.
- **label-md:** Inter-Medium 16px at weight 500, line height 1. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **code:** courier new 8px at weight 400, line height 1, tracking -0.125em. Code and technical values.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px grid: 100% of measured gaps and paddings are multiples of 4px.

- **Scale:** md 12px.
- **Gaps:** 12px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.

## Elevation & Depth

The design is flat: no shadows were measured. Hierarchy comes from color contrast.

## Shapes

Most elements use 6px corners. Measured radii, most used first:

- **md (6px):** 32 elements.

## Components

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

- **link:** transparent fill, #EFEFEF text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #000000 for the page.
- Do keep text in 3 levels: #FFFFFF, #EFEFEF, #999999.
- Do let contrast carry emphasis; primary actions use #FFFFFF on #000000.
- Do keep spacing on the 4px grid.
- Do use 6px corners on most elements.
- Don't add drop shadows for depth; use borders and contrast.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Apple Garamond Regular, Inter, sans-serif, Inter-Medium and courier new.
- Don't add saturated accent colors; the measured palette is almost entirely neutral.
