# Brian Lovin

> Extracted from [https://brianlovin.com/](https://brianlovin.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

Brian Lovin uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a monochrome palette. Type is set in **Inter** (display + body), with 20px body text. Layout: 640px container, none-detected navigation, 3 sections. Built with next.js, 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 | 92.3% | `--background-color-primary` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#A1A1A1` | 0.708 0 156.6 | muted | 3.8% | `--text-color-quaternary` |
| `on-surface` | `#171717` | 0.205 0 176.3 | text | 2.8% | `--text-color-primary` |
| `neutral-600` | `#525252` | 0.439 0 129.6 | other | 1.1% | `--color-neutral-600` |

Declared brand/accent tokens: `--background-color-brand` = `#FC532A` (declared, not painted on this page).

Contrast: text on background 17.91:1, muted text 2.59:1.

The site responds to `prefers-color-scheme: dark`; the `-dark` tokens hold the dark-mode roles.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Inter** | display, body | 400, 500, 600 | 100.0% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Source Serif 4, JetBrainsMono Nerd Font. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 16, 20, 24.  Body 20px at line-height 1.6; display 24px with tracking 0em. Headings are title case. On a 390px viewport the body is 20px and display 24px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 8px base unit; the most used steps are 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 64, 128px. Content sits in a 640px container. Text density 0.083 (text area / page area).

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

1. **section** (56px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **hero** — “Brian Lovin” (460px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **footer** — “Writing” (928px, 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 Inter at 20px / 1.6.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 500, 600.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at 0px for most controls.
- Do snap spacing to multiples of 8px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
