# Kinto-usa

> Extracted from [https://kinto-usa.com/](https://kinto-usa.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

Kinto-usa uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a monochrome palette. Type is set in **Baskerville Urw** (display), **Swis721**, with 12px body text. Layout: 1004px container, top-sticky navigation, 6 sections. Built with shopify, jquery, 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 | 79.9% | `--gradient-background` |
| `surface` | `#F5F5F5` | 0.97 0 0 | surface | 8.8% | — |
| `on-surface` | `#555555` | 0.45 0 0 | text | 0.61% | — |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#989898` | 0.68 0 0 | muted | 0.34% | — |
| `outline` | `#E3E3E6` | 0.917 0.004 286.3 | border | 0.04% | — |
| `color-6` | `#14141499` (on bg `#727272`) | 0.191 0 0 | other | 9.5% | — |
| `color-7` | `#A1A1A1` | 0.709 0 0 | other | 0.59% | — |

Contrast: text on background 7.46:1, muted text 2.85:1, accent 2.85:1.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Baskerville Urw** (CSS: `baskerville-urw`) | display | 400 | 31.1% | webfont |
| **Swis721** | body | 400, 500 | 28.1% | webfont |
| **Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN** | other | 400 | 20.2% | system (stack `"Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN", "ヒラギノ角ゴ ProN W3", Meiryo, メイリオ,`, resolved on macos) |
| **Swiss721** | other | 300, 700 | 16.2% | webfont |
| **Cardo** | other | 500 | 4.5% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Instrument Sans, Articulat Cf, Aktiv Grotesk, Indivisible, Elza Text, Nimbus Sans. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 0, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 35. Effective ratio ≈ 1.165 (close to a minor third). Body 12px at line-height 2.167; display 35px with tracking 0.109em. Headings are mixed case. On a 390px viewport the body is 12px and display 19px.

## Layout

Spacing has no reliable single base unit; the most used steps are 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 24, 30px. Sections open with about 84px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1004px container on a 3-column grid. Text density 0.012 (text area / page area).

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

1. **hero** (900px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **section** (2922px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **section** (949px, bg #FFFFFF)
4. **section** — “JOURNAL” (1055px, bg #FFFFFF)
5. **section** (1172px, bg #FFFFFF)
6. **footer** (795px, bg #F5F5F5)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: flat. Most used shadows:

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) 0px 0px 30px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: 4px. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#99999A`, textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `0px`, padding `0px 0px`, height `54px`, fontFamily `Swiss721`, fontSize `18px`, fontWeight `700` (e.g. “SUBSCRIBE TO EMAIL”)
- **input**: rounded `0px`, height `42px`, padding `12px 14px`, border `1px solid #989898`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do keep the palette monochrome; there is no chromatic brand accent on the page.
- Do set body copy in Swis721 at 12px / 2.167.
- Do use Baskerville Urw only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 300, 400, 500, 700.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- 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.
