# Deno, the drop

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

Deno, the drop uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a palette led by #70FFAF. Type is set in **Inter** (display + body), **Menlo** (mono), with 18px body text. Layout: 1280px container, top-sticky navigation, 16 sections. Built with tailwind, gsap, posthog.

## 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 | 67.6% | `--color-canvas-default` |
| `on-surface` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | text | 3.3% | `--true-black` |

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#00E666` (`--color-runtime-500`), `#66C2FF` (`--deploy-300`), `#0077CC` (`--deploy-500`).

Declared brand/accent tokens: `--color-accent-emphasis` = `#0969DA` (declared, not painted on this page).

Contrast: text on background 21:1, muted text 7.22:1, accent 1.26:1.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(to top in oklab, rgb(236, 243, 253) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 100%)`; `linear-gradient(in oklab, rgb(236, 243, 253) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 100%)`.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Inter** | display, body | 400, 700 | 69.5% | webfont |
| **Menlo** | mono | 400, 500, 700 | 24.4% | system (stack `Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Liberation Mono", "Courier New", m`, resolved on macos) |
| **Moranga** | other | 400, 700 | 3.8% | webfont |
| **Recursive** | other | 400 | 2.3% | webfont |

Scale (px): 12, 13.5, 14, 15.5, 16, 18, 20, 28, 36, 44, 72. Effective ratio ≈ 1.32 (close to a perfect fourth). Body 18px at line-height 1.556; display 72px with tracking -0.025em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 39.25px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 32, 56, 64, 80, 128px. Sections open with about 144px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1280px container on a 2-column grid. Text density 0.102 (text area / page area).

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

1. **section** (68px, bg #70FFAF)
2. **nav** (96px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **hero** — “Better, faster JavaScript” (774px, bg #001319)
4. **section** — “Or let your agent do it” (623px, bg #FFFFFF)
5. **section** — “Everything just works” (1007px, bg #FAFAFA)
6. **logos** — “Your Node project, without the Node problems” (374px, bg #FAFAFA)
7. **section** — “Built-in everything” (2263px, bg #FFFFFF)
8. **section** — “On the cutting edge of JavaScript” (1068px, bg #FFFFFF)
9. **section** — “Granular security controls” (1592px, bg #0B0D11)
10. **section** — “Faster than you think” (1664px, bg #FFFFFF)
11. **section** — “See anything, understand everything” (1056px, bg #FFFFFF)
12. **section** — “Deploy Deno anywhere” (1854px, bg #FFFFFF)
13. **section** — “And now, the desktop” (1067px, bg #FFFFFF)
14. **section** — “Loved by developers” (746px, bg #FFFFFF)
15. **section** — “Better JavaScript” (864px, bg #FFFFFF)
16. **footer** — “Company” (418px, bg #121417)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: subtle. Most used shadows:

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 10px 15px -3px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 4px 6px -4px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px -1px`
- `rgb(102, 194, 255) 2px 4px 0px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius is a full pill; radii in use: 3px, 4px, 6px, 8px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#25272B`, textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `9999px`, padding `2px 2px`, height `60px`, fontFamily `Inter`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `400` (e.g. “Get started”)
- **button-secondary**: backgroundColor `#70FFAF`, textColor `#0B0D11`, rounded `9999px`, padding `2px 2px`, height `60px`, fontFamily `Inter`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `400` (e.g. “Node & npm in Deno”)
- **card**: rounded `6px`, padding `32px`, backgroundColor `#FFFFFF`, border `1px solid #E5EAEA`, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0`
- **input**: rounded `8px`, height `34px`, padding `4px 4px`, border `1px solid #868789`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#70FFAF` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 1.2% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Inter at 18px / 1.556.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.025em at 72px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 500, 700.
- Do keep corners at pill 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.
