# 14islands

> Extracted from [https://www.14islands.com/](https://www.14islands.com/) on 2026-11-12 by Emblematic. Every value below was read from the rendered DOM (computed styles, `document.fonts`, and the fonts Chrome actually used to paint text), not estimated from pixels. When the YAML front matter and this prose disagree, the YAML wins. Copy values from this file exactly; don't transcribe them from memory. Don't copy logos, imagery, illustrations or marketing copy.

## Overview

14islands uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a monochrome palette. Type is set in **Aften Screen** (display), **Benton Sans**, with 12px body text. Layout: 1332px container, top-fixed+transparent navigation, 6 sections. Built with next.js, lenis, sanity, google-tag-manager, vercel.

## Colors

Area-weighted from painted backgrounds, text and borders on the 1440px light capture. Roles are inferred from usage (largest background, most text, interactive fills). Every hex is an exact computed value; a role marked *unverified* is a best guess that has not passed review, so its canonical token (e.g. `primary`) is left out of the front matter.

| Token | Hex | OKLCH | Role | Share of paint | CSS variable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `background` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | bg | 84.6% | `--color-white` |
| `surface` | `#F2F2F2` | 0.961 0 0 | surface | 9.0% | `--color-background` |
| `on-surface` | `#070707` | 0.129 0 0 | text | 4.0% | `--color-almost-black` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#A2A2A9` | 0.714 0.01 286.1 | muted | 2.4% | `--color-grey-highlight-light` |

Contrast: text on background 20.14:1, muted text 2.54:1.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(rgb(7, 7, 7) 0px, rgb(7, 7, 7) 0px)`.

The site does not change under `prefers-color-scheme: dark`.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Aften Screen** (CSS: `AftenScreen`) | display | 400 | 97.4% | webfont |
| **Benton Sans** (CSS: `BentonSans`) | body | 400 | 2.6% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Aften Screen Italic, Inter. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 12, 26.5, 75, 100. Effective ratio ≈ 2.027. Body 12px at line-height 1.4; display 75px with tracking -0.04em. Headings are upper case. On a 390px viewport the body is 14px and display 60px.

## Layout

Spacing has no reliable single base unit; the most used steps are 10, 16.5, 20, 25, 41.5, 54, 100, 108.5, 160px. Sections open with about 100px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1332px container on a 12-column grid. Text density 0.061 (text area / page area).

Section order (desktop). Kinds below the review threshold are shown as *section*:

1. **nav** (111px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **hero** — “Creative Partner” (810px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **section** (749px, bg #FFFFFF)
4. **section** — “h c n u a l o t n o i s i v m o r f s t c u d o r P t n e g i l l e t n I” (3208px, bg #FFFFFF)
5. **section** (3814px, bg #FFFFFF)
6. **section** (1724px, bg #FFFFFF)

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: none. Borders: none.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do keep the palette monochrome; there is no chromatic brand accent on the page.
- Do set body copy in Benton Sans at 12px / 1.4.
- Do use Aften Screen only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.04em at 75px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at 0px for most controls.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
