# Commercial Type

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

Commercial Type uses a dark canvas (#000000) with a palette led by #323232. Type is set in **Schenk** (display), **Styrene UI A**, **Styrene UI B** (ui), with 14.5px body text. Layout: fluid container, top-fixed+transparent navigation, 4 sections. Built with hotwire.

## 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `on-surface` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | text | 15.9% | — |
| `background` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | bg | 14.8% | — |
| `primary` | `#323232` | 0.317 0 0 | accent | 0.59% | — |
| `color-4` | `#78FFF0` | 0.92 0.121 185.6 | other | 11.5% | — |
| `color-5` | `#38A4FA` | 0.698 0.159 247.1 | other | 11.5% | — |

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#FFC8E4`, `#500000`.

Contrast: text on background 21:1, accent 1.64:1.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(rgb(187, 187, 187) 0px, rgba(242, 242, 242, 0.02) 6.264px, rgba(242, 242, 242, 0.02) 100%), linear-gradient(to right, rgb(18`.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Schenk** | display | 400 | 30.5% | webfont |
| **Spectator** (CSS: `Spectator Upright`) | other | 400 | 19.4% | webfont |
| **New Doric** (CSS: `New Doric Upright`) | other | 400 | 19.0% | webfont |
| **Action Grotesque** (CSS: `Action Grotesque Upright`) | other | 400 | 16.2% | webfont |
| **Styrene UI A** | body | 400 | 10.6% | webfont |
| **Styrene UI B** | ui | 400 | 4.2% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Frame, Inter, Styrene UI B Footnotes. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 13.5, 14.5, 21, 116, 182, 198.5, 331. Effective ratio ≈ 1.869. Body 14.5px at line-height 1.4; display 331.2px with tracking 0em. Headings are upper case. On a 390px viewport the body is 13.5px and display 105.3px.

## Layout

Spacing has no reliable single base unit; the most used steps are 2, 3, 6.5, 8.5, 10.5, 18.5, 20.5, 21, 62.5px. Sections open with about 20px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a fluid container on a 3-column grid. Text density 0.298 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (42px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **hero** (1883px, bg #78FFF0)
3. **testimonials** — “Goods” (685px, bg #FFFFFF)
4. **footer** (138px, bg #E2F2FF)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: subtle. Most used shadows:

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.35) 2.088px 2.088px 6.8904px 0px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) 2.088px 2.088px 6.8904px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: none. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#323232`, textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `0px`, padding `0px 8.4px`, height `31.3px`, fontFamily `Styrene UI B`, fontSize `14.62px`, fontWeight `400` (e.g. “Subscribe”)
- **input**: rounded `0px`, height `31.3px`, padding `0px 2.9px`, border `1px solid #000000`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#323232` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 0.59% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Styrene UI A at 14.5px / 1.4.
- Do use Schenk only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400.
- 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.
