# Column

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

Column uses a light canvas (#F6F6F8) with a palette led by #111A4A. Type is set in **Suisse Int'l** (display + body), **Menlo** (mono), with 16px body text. Layout: 1112px container, top-static+transparent navigation, 3 sections. Built with gatsby, radix-ui, contentful, google-tag-manager, cloudfront.

## 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.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Suisse Int'l** (CSS: `SuisseIntl`) | display, body | 300, 400, 500, 600 | 68.5% | webfont |
| **Menlo** | mono | 400 | 29.2% | system (stack `SFMono, "SF Mono", ui-monospace, Menlo, Consolas, "Liberatio`, resolved on macos) |
| **Inter** | other | 400, 500, 600 | 1.5% | webfont |

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

Scale (px): 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 40, 48, 52, 60. Effective ratio ≈ 1.18 (close to a minor third). Body 16px at line-height 1.375; display 52px with tracking -0.03em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 32px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 48, 72, 144, 164px. Sections open with about 172px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1112px container on a 12-column grid. Text density 0.095 (text area / page area).

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

1. **hero** — “Move, hold, and lend the dollar at scale” (2431px, bg #F6F6F8)
2. **section** — “The only bank built from the ground up for developers” (3922px, bg #F6F6F8)
3. **footer** — “Building blocks for the future of financial products” (3319px, bg #F6F6F8)

## Elevation & Depth

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 8px; radii in use: 8px, 12px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#111A4A`, textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `8px`, padding `0px 16px`, height `36px`, fontFamily `Suisse Int'l`, fontSize `14px`, fontWeight `500`, shadow `rgb(17, 26, 74) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) 0px 2px 4px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) 0px 1px 2px 0px` (e.g. “Sign up”)
- **button-secondary**: backgroundColor `#EC652B`, textColor `#111A4A`, rounded `8px`, padding `12px 32px`, height `48px`, fontFamily `SuisseIntl`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `400`, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px -1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02) 0px -48px 24px`
- **card**: rounded `8px`, padding `0px`, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02) 0px 40px 32px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03) 0px 22px 18px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03) 0px 12px 10px 0px, rgb`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#111A4A` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 3.0% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Suisse Int'l at 16px / 1.375.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.03em at 52px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 300, 400, 500, 600.
- Do keep corners at 8px for most controls, and use the larger radii only for cards and media.
- Do snap spacing to multiples of 4px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
