# Bear

> Extracted from [https://bear.app/](https://bear.app/) 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

Bear uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a palette led by #DD4C4F. Type is set in **Bearsans**, **Bearsansheadline** (display), with 16px body text. Layout: 960px container, top-fixed navigation, 9 sections. Built with google-tag-manager.

## 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 | 87.6% | `--background-color` |
| `on-surface` | `#444444` | 0.387 0 0 | text | 5.4% | `--text-color` |
| `surface` | `#F3F5F7` | 0.969 0.003 247.9 | surface | 2.7% | `--background-secondary-color` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#888888` | 0.627 0 0 | muted | 1.4% | `--text-secondary-color` |
| `primary` | `#DD4C4F` | 0.617 0.181 23 | accent | 0.26% | `--accent-color` |
| `color-6` | `#D5D6D9` | 0.876 0.004 271.4 | other | 0.82% | — |
| `color-7` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | other | 0.39% | — |
| `color-8` | `#D3FFA4` | 0.948 0.125 129.5 | other | 0.33% | — |
| `color-9` | `#979797` | 0.676 0 0 | other | 0.27% | — |
| `color-10` | `#E6E7EB` | 0.928 0.005 275 | other | 0.20% | — |

Contrast: text on background 9.74:1, muted text 3.54:1, accent 4.02:1.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Bearsans** (CSS: `bearsans`) | body | 400, 700 | 66.2% | webfont |
| **Bearsansheadline** (CSS: `bearsansheadline`) | display | 400 | 33.7% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Roboto Mono. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 16, 17.5, 22.5, 25.5, 30.5, 41.5, 51. Effective ratio ≈ 1.213 (close to a minor third). Body 16px at line-height 1.7; display 51.2px with tracking 0em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 41.6px.

## Layout

Spacing has no reliable single base unit; the most used steps are 5, 5.5, 6.5, 8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 19, 20.5, 21, 24, 32, 40px. Sections open with about 109px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 960px container on a 4-column grid. Text density 0.057 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (64px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **hero** — “Markdown notes you’ll” (2871px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **section** (2786px, bg #FFFFFF)
4. **section** (79px, bg #FFFFFF)
5. **section** — “Sketch your notes” (1569px, bg #FFFFFF)
6. **section** — “Bear” (1813px, bg #FFFFFF)
7. **section** — “Join the community” (511px, bg #FFFFFF)
8. **section** — “The Bear newsletter” (418px, bg #FFFFFF)
9. **footer** (496px, bg #FFFFFF)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: elevated. Most used shadows:

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12) 0px 13px 34px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 40px; radii in use: 4px, 4.5px, 5px, 8px, 8.5px, 16px, 40px. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **card**: rounded `40px`, padding `0px`, backgroundColor `#F3F5F7`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#DD4C4F` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 0.26% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Bearsans at 16px / 1.7.
- Do use Bearsansheadline only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 700.
- Do keep corners at 40px for most controls, and use the larger radii only for cards and media.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
