# Uk

> Extracted from [https://uk.glossier.com/](https://uk.glossier.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

Uk uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a monochrome palette. Type is set in **Apercu** (display + body), **Apercu Mono** (mono), with 14px body text. Layout: 1376px container, top-fixed navigation, 3 sections. Built with shopify, react, google-tag-manager, cloudflare.

## 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 | 46.9% | `--promo-badge-text-color` |
| `surface` | `#FAF2F4` | 0.968 0.009 0.1 | surface | 27.6% | — |
| `on-surface` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | text | 24.4% | `--value-badge-text-color` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#666666` | 0.51 0 0 | muted | 0.54% | — |
| `color-5` | `#E8E8E8` | 0.931 0 0 | other | 0.13% | — |

Contrast: text on background 21:1, muted text 5.74:1.

Gradients in use: `none, linear-gradient(to right, rgb(0, 0, 0) 50%, rgb(0, 0, 0) 50%), none, linear-gradient(rgb(0, 0, 0) 50%, rgb(0, 0, 0) 50%)`.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Apercu** | display, body | 400 | 98.5% | webfont |
| **Apercu Mono** | mono | 400 | 1.5% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Open Sans, Inter, Kanit, Nunito Sans, Poppins, Apercu Pro. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 12, 14, 20.  Body 14px at line-height 1.4; display 20px with tracking 0em. Headings are upper case. On a 390px viewport the body is 20px and display 20px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 20, 32, 34px. Sections open with about 80px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1376px container. Text density 0.025 (text area / page area).

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

1. **hero** — “Get 3 Balms for £30!” (1462px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **section** (2505px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **footer** (707px, bg #FAF2F4)

## Shapes

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

## Components

- **input**: rounded `0px`, height `46px`, padding `22px 8px`, backgroundColor `#FFFFFF`, border `1px solid #E8E8E8`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do keep the palette monochrome; there is no chromatic brand accent on the page.
- Do set body copy in Apercu at 14px / 1.4.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400.
- 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 4px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
