### What is the Webdrift DESIGN.md?

A plain-text file with Webdrift’s measured colors, type, spacing, corners and components as tokens, plus short rules, in the DESIGN.md format Google published with Stitch. Your AI coding agent reads it and builds in this style. More about DESIGN.md.

### How do I use it with Claude Code or Cursor?

Download the file and put it in your project’s root folder, then ask your agent to follow DESIGN.md. Step-by-step guides: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot.

### Is this Webdrift’s official design system?

No. Sitepeel measured it from webdrift.be’s public page on November 5, 2026. It is an independent analysis, not made or approved by Webdrift.

### Can I use Webdrift’s style in my own product?

Use it to learn, prototype and compare. For a real product, make the style your own, and never copy Webdrift’s logo, name, pictures or text.

### How accurate are the values?

Each value was measured on the rendered page after it fully loaded, on desktop and mobile: colors where they appear, type with tracking, spacing, corners, shadows and hover states. Sites change, so check the date at the top.

# Webdrift Design System

## Overview

Webdrift describes itself as: “Webdrift is a design and development studio in Antwerp. We design and build custom, high-end websites and web apps, with design and development under one roof.” The interface is dark, built on **Charcoal (#0C0B0B)** with **Warm Mist (#F3F1EC)** text, and **Red (#B0142C)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **host**, with **geistMono** for code. Headlines run large with tight negative tracking; body text is 16px. Depth comes from hairline borders and inset highlights rather than drop shadows. Controls are pill-shaped.

Measured from [webdrift.be](https://www.webdrift.be/en) on November 5, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 173 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 12 roles.

- **Charcoal (#0C0B0B):** Page background, seen 7 times. Token `background`, CSS `--ink`.
- **Warm Mist (#F3F1EC):** Primary text and headings, seen 42 times. Token `on-surface`, CSS `--paper`.
- **Warm Gray (#9C9590):** Secondary text, seen 7 times. Token `on-surface-variant`, CSS `--mute-on-ink`.
- **Charcoal (#111111):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-low`, CSS `--room`.
- **Warm Mist 35% (#F3F1EC59):** Translucent fill for cards and controls, seen 4 times. Token `overlay`.
- **Warm Mist 50% (#F3F1EC80):** Stronger translucent fill, seen 3 times. Token `overlay-strong`.
- **Warm Mist 8% (#F3F1EC14):** Borders and dividers, seen 1 time. Token `outline`.
- **Warm Mist 12% (#F3F1EC1F):** Secondary dividers, seen 1 time. Token `outline-variant`.
- **Red (#B0142C):** Primary buttons and calls to action, seen 7 times. Token `primary`, CSS `--crimson`.
- **Warm Mist (#F3F1EC):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Red (#D7193A):** Accent in text, fills and borders, seen 3 times. Token `secondary`, CSS `--crimson-lit`.
- **Red (#F0525A):** Errors and destructive states, seen 14 times. Token `error`.

## Typography

**host** and **geistMono** (monospace) share the interface. Fallback stack: `host, host Fallback, Helvetica Neue, Arial`.

- **headline-display:** host 124px at weight 600, line height 0.88, tracking -0.055em (52px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** host 120px at weight 600, line height 0.9, tracking -0.06em (60px on mobile). Section headings (h2).
- **body-md:** host 16px at weight 400, line height 1.55. Body text.
- **body-lg:** host 24px at weight 400, line height 1.35, tracking -0.03em. Lead paragraphs.
- **label-md:** host 16px at weight 500, line height 1.55, tracking -0.01em. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **label-sm:** host 15px at weight 500, line height 1.55. Small labels and badges.
- **code:** geistMono 12px at weight 400, line height 1.55, tracking 0.01em. Code and technical values.

## Layout

Spacing does not follow a strict grid: 69% of measured values are multiples of 4px, so match the measured steps rather than rounding to a grid.

- **Scale:** xs 2px, sm 8px, md 12px, lg 24px, xl 36px.
- **Sections:** 158.4px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 8px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Page margin:** 36px on each side of full-width sections.
- **Breakpoints:** 420px, 560px, 700px, 767px, 899px, 900px, 901px.

## Elevation & Depth

Depth comes mostly from hairline rings and inset highlights on tonal surfaces (#111111):

- `rgba(243, 241, 236, 0.45) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`
- `rgba(12, 11, 11, 0.4) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`
- `rgba(243, 241, 236, 0.35) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`

A few raised panels add a soft drop shadow: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 0px 40px 80px -30px`.

## Shapes

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

- **full (9999px):** 8 elements.
- **md (22px):** 4 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-primary (“Start a project Start a project”):** #B0142C fill, #F3F1EC text, 16px/500, padding 0px, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`.
- **button-secondary (“Start a project Start a project”):** #F3F1EC fill, #F3F1EC text, 16px/500, padding 0px, shadow `rgba(243, 241, 236, 0.45) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`.
- **button-outline (“About the studio About the studi”):** #0C0B0B fill, #0C0B0B text, 16px/500, padding 0px, shadow `rgba(12, 11, 11, 0.4) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`.
- **button-ghost (“Back to 1984”):** transparent fill, #F3F1EC text, 12px/400, 22px radius, padding 0px 14px, border 1px solid #F3F1EC47.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #0C0B0B for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #111111.
- Do keep text in 2 levels: #F3F1EC, #9C9590.
- Do reserve #B0142C for primary actions and key highlights.
- Do set headlines in host with tight tracking (-0.055em).
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 12px, 24px).
- Do make buttons and chips fully rounded (9999px); most other elements use 22px corners.
- Don't use heavy drop shadows; keep depth to hairline rings and tonal surfaces.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond host and geistMono.
- Don't use #B0142C for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.6s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.3s, 0.4s, 0.5s, 0.55s. Longer ambient animations run 0.7s, 0.9s.

- **Easing:** `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`, `ease`.
- **Reduced motion:** the page responds to `prefers-reduced-motion`.
